Wild Geese and Mary Oliver
Animal thoughts with no animals today
Someone random over on Substack was mean to one of my animal posts last night.
And I'm not posting a photo today because the animals aren't talking. Plus, people don't seem to interact with them as much any more so maybe their time is done?
I don't know.
On this Wednesday, I don't feel super sure about anything except there are many ways to make this world better and not all of them have to constantly include outrage--though that has a definite place and motivating force.
Last Friday, though, I saw this Mary Oliver power affixed to a high school English teacher's wall via a piece of scotch tape. All under the windows were books and more books. Other poems, other bits of word and hope and truths were all along the walls.
And that?
It was pretty powerful.
And pretty beautiful.
