My work is loving the world.
Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird—
equal seekers of sweetness.
Here the quickening yeast there the blue plums.
Here the clam deep in the speckled sand.
Are my boots old? Is my coat torn?
Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me
keep my mind on what matters,
which is my work,
which is mostly standing still and learning to be
astonished.
The phoebe, the delphinium.
The sheep in the pasture, and the pasture.
Which is mostly rejoicing, since all the ingredients are here,
which is gratitude, to be given a mind and a heart
and these body-clothes,
a mouth with which to give shouts of joy
to the moth and the wren, to the sleepy dug-up clam,
telling them all, over and over, how it is
that we live forever.
— Mary Oliver
Tears of joy
Tears of gratitude
Tears of sadness
Tears of grief
Tears of sadness and grief honoring the sense of loss for things that once brought us joy and gratitude
And then there are the nameless tears
Perhaps these are the tears for the promise of joy and gratitude yet to come
Now.
Be here.
“Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end:
Then stop.”
—Lewis Carroll
