Mindful ( After Mary Oliver )
God days, I call them—
creation aligned
with mindful being
despite contrast;
such as the truth
of this simple moment:
no accolade, award
or holiday exists as reason
to appreciate its breath;
only Life itself:
winter grass
a frozen lake—
this skeletal leaf
~

The brevity of this is striking and thoroughly resonates with Oliver's "Mindful".
We are here to appreciate being here and the only way to do that is to enjoy the moment and all that goes into its presentation.
This is Lovely, Dear. 📝❤
And Truth. 🌌🌎
