Wild Geese

Wild Geese
Mary Oliver
 
“You only have to let the soft animal of your body / love what it loves.” 
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about your despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting —
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

  6. I think everything published was very logical.
    However, think about this, suppose you were to write a awesome headline?

    I ain’t saying your content isn’t solid., but what if you added a post title that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean Wild Geese – Nature is Love is kinda vanilla.
    You might glance at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create
    post headlines to grab people to open the links. You might add a related video or a related
    picture or two to get readers excited about what you’ve got to say.
    Just my opinion, it would make your blog a little livelier.
