Poetry Sunday: Don't Hesitate by Mary Oliver
How about we share another Mary Oliver poem? After all, you can never have too many of those. In this one, the poet seems to acknowledge that it is often hard to simply live in and enjoy the moment, perhaps because we are afraid it can't last. She urges us to give in to that moment and fully experience the joy. Although "much can never be redeemed, still, life has some possibility left." Don't Hesitate by Mary Oliver If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that’s often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is no
A great argument for permanent standard time!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I think Daylight Savings Time has long since served its purpose.
DeleteThanks for the laugh!!! (And I'm with you, let's let DST go and just stick with one time. Please.)
ReplyDeleteFunny photo! Love it! Ugh, the horrors of the time change... I'm not enjoying less daylight and eveningd becoming darker earlier.
ReplyDeleteAnd here I sit, all smug and self-satisfied because, except for the Navajo Nation in the northeastern corner of the state, Arizona doesn't do DST.
ReplyDeleteAnd the rest of us should follow Arizona's excellent example!
DeleteI'm about at the point of not caring if we choose year round daylight time or year round standard time - I just want to yell "Pick one, already!" (my vote, as much as I detest 4:30 pm sunsets in December, is for standard time.)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you!
