@mistercorzi.bsky.socialThe light flows from their branches.
And they call again, ”It's simple,” they say,
”and you too have come
into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled
with light, and to shine.”
Mary Oliver (2006)

@themadsonneteer.bsky.social“The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave to it neither power nor time.” - #MaryOliver (born: 10 September 1935)
@unclebooger.bsky.socialThough I play at the edges of knowing, truly I know our part is not knowing, but looking, and touching, and loving

but with stars in their black feathers,
they spring from the telephone wire
and instantly
they are acrobats in the freezing wind."

@rojohumanwriter.bsky.socialI went down to the shore this evening with Mary Oliver's poem in my heart & a little #17 of my own from way back hovering at my shoulder. This is the most gorgeous time of year. Enjoy your autumn

@kinnesonlalor.bsky.socialAnother collection I’ve turned to recently when I felt my soul was in need of some soothing.
What I love about these poems is Oliver’s unflinchingly open approach to love.
