I know I can walk through the world, along the shore or under the trees, with my mind filled with things of little importance, in full self-attendanc… - Mary Oliver

Or maybe it’s about the wonderful things that may happen if you break the ropes that are holding you.

Dogfish

I wanted
The past to go away, I wanted
To leave it, like another country; I wanted
My life to close, and open
Like a hinge, like a wing, like the part of the song
Where it falls
Down over the rocks: an explosion, a discovery;
I wanted
To hurry into the work of my life; I wanted to know,
Whoever I was, I was

Alive
For a little while.

…mostly, I want to be kind.
And nobody, of course, is kind,
Or mean,
For a simple reason.

And nobody gets out of it, having to
Swim through the fires to stay in
This world.

You want to cry aloud for your mistakes. But to tell the truth the world doesn't need any more of that sound.
