poems so beautiful they hurt to speak aloud

reading this in between holiday dinners & gatherings and there's a beautiful irony in having to cram in these gentle, contemplative poems about pausing & paying attention any time i have literally 15 minutes before i need to get in my car again

so jealous of jane kenyon's ability to taste the whole world from her front porch

poetry of the gentle observer--i love how quiet & attentive each of these simple, profound poems are. it makes me sad i can never see the world as she sees but inspired to think there's a poem in everything, especially the mundane
