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 presence in every moment. An act of curiosity results in learning details.
Take a walk. Focus on attention, awareness and an attitude of noticing.
Imagine a story in shapes and contours.
Turn the corner
Find a dolphin in a rose.
Search for crinkles and wrinkles in green
Find a heart or mouse ears in stones
Become a bee-liever.
Reveal nature's wonder in your writing today.
