I want

to think again of dangerous

and noble things.

I want to be light and frolicsome.

I want to be improbable, beautiful

and afraid of nothing,

as though I had wings.

~Mary Oliver

why is the night as fine as the day?

inquiry for today~ where will you meet your new self?

when the day is lost…

On the other hand, you could just relax and realize that, behind all the worry, complaint and disapproval that goes on in your mind, the sun is always coming up in the morning, moving across the sky, and going down in the evening. The birds are always out there collecting their food and making their nests and flying across the sky. The grass is always being blown by the wind or standing still. Food and flowers and trees are growing out of the earth. There’s enormous richness. You could envelop your passion for life and your curiosity and your interest. You could connect with your joyfulness. You could start right now.
