“But I also say this: that light
is an invitation
to happiness,
and that happiness,

when it’s done right,
is a kind of holiness,
palpable and redemptive.”
―  Mary Oliver

“Pay attention.
Be astonished.Tell about it.”
―  Mary Oliver

“Poetry is one of the ancient arts, and it begins…within the original wilderness of the earth.”
―  Mary Oliver
