It doesn't have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch
a few words together and don't try
to make them elaborate, this isn't
a contest but the doorway
into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak
- Mary Oliver
Discover the simple today. Take a wander around the area.
Notice what summer brings. Turn a stone over and find creatures that wriggle.
Listen to birdsong and neighborhood sounds. Which scents arrive on the breeze? Become aware of silence.
Turn a corner.
Do you find a "silence in which another voice may speak." Find the doorway into thanks.
