"Every day I see or hear something that more or less kills me with
delight,
that leaves me like a needle in the haystack of light.
It was
what I was born for - to look, to listen, to lose myself inside this
soft world -
to instruct myself over and over in joy, and acclamation.
Nor am I talking about the exceptional, the fearful, the dreadful, the
very extravagant -
but of the ordinary, the common, the very drab, the
daily presentations.
Oh, good scholar, I say to myself,
how can you help
but grow wise with such teachings as these -
the un-trimmable light of
the world,
the ocean’s shine,
the prayers that are made out of grass?"
~ Mary Oliver,"Mindful"
