“Sometimes the great bones of my life feel so heavy,
and all the tricks my body knows—
the opposable thumbs, the kneecaps,
and the mind clicking and clicking—
don’t seem enough to carry me through this world
and I think: how I would like
to have wings—
blue ones—
ribbons of flame.”
Mary Oliver, New and Selected Poems, Volume One

“Fear is the cheapest room in the house.
I would like to see you living
In better conditions.”
Hafiz

“If your mind isn’t clouded by unnecessary things,
This is the best season of your life.”
WU-MEN

“Do you also hurry, half-dressed and barefoot, into the garden,
and softly,
and exclaiming of their dearness,
fill your arms with the white and pink flowers,
with their honeyed heaviness, their lush trembling,
their eagerness
to be wild and perfect for a moment, before they are
nothing, forever?”
Mary Oliver, New and Selected Poems, Volume One

“such wild love—
do you think there is anywhere, in any language,
a word billowing enough
for the pleasure

that fills you,
as the sun
reaches out,
as it warms you

as you stand there,
empty-handed—
or have you too
turned from this world—

or have you too
gone crazy
for power,
for things?”
Mary Oliver, New and Selected Poems
