Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious
“Tell me,
what is it you plan to do
with your one
wild and precious life?”
Mary Oliver

“I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”
Mary Oliver, poet

“Though I play at the edges of knowing,
truly I know
our part is not knowing,
but looking, and touching, and loving”
Mary Oliver, Why I Wake Early

“You may not agree, you may not care, but
if you are holding this book you should know that of all the sights I love in this world — and there are plenty — very near the top of the list is this one: dogs without leashes.”
Mary Oliver, Dog Songs: Poems

W.B. Yeats
“Sometimes my feet are tired and my hands are quiet, but there is no quiet in my heart.”
W.B. Yeats
