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 means full presence in each moment. It requires acts of curiosity.

Attention. Awareness. Awe.  All request the attitude of noticing.


Find your attitude of awe.
