Wild Geese

Fall in Arlington, VA

An excerpt from a dear piece of poetry:

"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."
~Mary Oliver


I agree today - and let myself breathe.

I let the soft animal of my body
just love what it loves...
Thank you...for breath in my body
hope in my heart
for stirring my dreams
for drawing me into my life...
the unfolding of this beautiful
life...

Thank you.
