Snow was falling,
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness.

Additional quotes by Mary Oliver

There are a hundred paths through the world that are easier than loving. But, who wants easier?

Certainly there is within each of us a self that is neither a child, nor a servant of the hours. It is a third self, occasional in some of us, tyrant in others. This self is out of love with the ordinary; it is out of love with time. It has a hunger for eternity.

And now you'll be telling stories
of my coming back
and they won't be false, and they won't be true
but they'll be real
