that stillness becomes a radiance."

Lines Written in the Days of Growing Darkness

Every year we have been

witness to it:  how the

world descends 

into a rich mash, in order that

it may resume.

And therefore

who would cry out

to the petals on the ground

to stay,

knowing, as we must,

how the vivacity of what was is married

to the vitality of what will be?

I don't say

it's easy, but

what else will do

if the love one claims to have for the world

be true?

So let us go on

though the sun be swinging east,

and the ponds be cold and black,

and the sweets of the year be doomed.

"Don't shoot what it looks like.

Shoot what it feels like."

"You can't go back and change the beginning,

but you can start where you are and

change the ending."

"Sometimes I need

only to stand

wherever I am

to be blessed"

-Mary Oliver-

"Ring the bells that still can ring.

Forget your perfect offering.

There is a crack in everything.

That's how the light gets in."
