Wise words from a sage woman …. Have a wonderful Sunday!

My reflection for the day from my favorite poet, Mary Oliver. I read it slowly out loud - it never fails to deeply touch my heart. Wishing you a blessed day.

Praying

It doesn’t have to be the blue iris, it could be weeds in a vacant lot, or a few small stones;

just pay attention, then patch a few words together and don’t try to make them elaborate,

this isn’t a contest but the doorway into thanks, and a silence in which another voice can speak.”

Mary Oliver, from Thirst

Do not forget your impact - local business, those in need, those who cannot advocate for themselves. Your libraries, your art centers and your fire and EMT departments. Share the ❤️

And that it is..... ❤️
