The face of the moose is as sad as the face of Jesus.
Mary OliverI don't want to end up simply having visited this world.
Mary OliverStichwörter: making-a-difference
Do you love this world?
Do you cherish your humble and silky life?
Do you adore the green grass, with its terror beneath?
It is better for the heart to break, than not to break.

Hello, sun in my face. Hello you who made the morning and spread it over the fields...Watch, now, how I start the day in happiness, in kindness.
Mary OliverAnd now I understand something so frightening
Mary OliverYou do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

When it's over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride married to amazement.
--from WHEN DEATH COMES
My work is the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird - equal seekers of sweetness. Here the quickening yeast; there the blue plums...
