Meanwhile… Wild Geese

March 16, 2012 by Nancy Lankston Leave a Comment

Spacious Sky

My advice to myself today:
BE AWAKE, AWARE & ALIVE…

∞

You 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.

– Wild Geese by Mary Oliver
