Wild Geese - BY Mary Oliver

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting —
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things

Silence

In the sweet silence go reclaim
your life dream. The mythos.
Become lost in time. Track the daydream.
Track where you are when you're not there/here.

Remember your most positive daydream and
give it a name. Become conscious of it.
~ call upon it ~
The daydream sets up the matrix
for what is to happen.

Dare to dream. Embrace the silence.
Listen carefully.

Begin .... just begin
~ At the beginning
or the end ?
Just begin !

Begin again.
put pen to paper or
set your foot on the
road & follow with
another.

make a mark
start a spark
and tend the fire
within.

Breath in
Be inspired ?

Time is running, Don't let
it run out
time is turning and
doesn't wait.

Clouds drift, Sun burns
Rivers flow, Things
grow & die.

Does a bird wait to sing ?
This moment won't ever
be again
So begin !

Just do it ~
a chance not taken
ends in nothing.

Listen to your heart
~ don't miss a beat.

This is it !!!
you are the answer
and the question
