Every day
I see or hear
something
that more or less
kills me
with delight,
that leaves me
like a needle
in the haystack
of light.
It was what I was born for -
to look, to listen,
to lose myself
inside this soft world -
to instruct myself
over and over
in joy, and acclamation.
~ Mary Oliver (US, 1935-2019),

Ground art: Hamsaji's kollam ground art inspires Jaya's reflections trust and the spiritual path 4:35 minutes
Mother tongue: to the child just born
if i were eloquent in your language
i would try to tell you
how it is
when something difficult loves you,
how it is
when you begin to love it back,
how this can
cost you everything.
