I have come across ordinary people who have done extraordinary things.

We’re born to live.  One is a realist if one hopes.

Louis “Studs” Terkel (1912-2008) was an American writer, historian, and radio broadcaster.  His work in gathering oral histories of common Americans was recognized as one of his most well-received projects.  He received the 1985 Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction.

New season dawning

Reaching out for change

Darkness now leaving

Feeling fresh exchange

 

Transitions welcome

Embracing hope’s light

Every new blessing

Welcoming headlights

 

Tomorrow waiting

Catching future’s scent

Morning shares rebirth

Gathering ascent

 

New landscape ahead

Moving from home base

Confidence growing

Walking with bold pace

 

This season finished

Looking for next one

Each day holds promise

Enjoying life’s run

Mary Oliver Quotes

Photo by Mustafa Karabu00f6rklu00fc on Pexels.com

Instructions for living a life.  Pay attention.  Be astonished.  Tell about it.

In this universe we are given two gifts:  the ability to love and the ability to question.  Which are, at the same time, the fires that warm us and the fires that scorch us.

Mary Oliver (1935-2019) was a best-selling American poet, who received many honors for her work.  Her love of nature can be found in much of her writing, and it resulted in honors from the National Book Award in 1992 and Pulitzer Prize in 1984.
