"Still, what I want in my life is to be willing to be dazzled-- to cast aside the weight of facts and maybe even to float a little above this difficult world.  I want to believe I am looking into the white fire of a great mystery.  I want to believe that the imperfections are nothing-- that the light is everything-- that it is more than the sum of each flawed blossom rising and fading.  And I do."

- Mary Oliver,  House of Light -
