An Attitude of Noticing

Every morning
the world
is created. 
Under the orange 

sticks of the sun
the heaped
ashes of the night
turn into leaves again 

and fasten themselves to the high branches ---
and the ponds appear
like black cloth
on which are painted islands    - Mary Oliver




Poet, Mary Oliver believes in an "attitude of noticing." When she opens her senses, nature reveals its details.

Writing-as-mindfulness requires full presence in every moment. It requires an act of curiosity.

Focus on attention, awareness and an attitude of noticing.  Reveal nature's wonder in your writing today.
