Thank you for this post, and the accompanying poem. That last happy tongue reminds me of Mary Oliver’s “happy tongue” at the end of “August.” Merry Christmas!

I discovered your blog one day while looking for a Mary Oliver poem. Your writing and exquisite photographs have brought inspiration to me and my mother over the last several months. Thank you for the grace you have brought to our lives. I am caring for my mother as she transitions from this life to the next. I am reminded of being in the present moment as I observe my mother living with Alzheimer’s disease. The present moment is her lens and I have the gift of looking through it with her. I share your blog with my mother often. She loves listening to me read to her and appreciates your photography fully.
Thank you, thank you. Namaste

I resonate with many of your books. And I love your musings. Keep on, keeping on. Here is another book for you and others that I appreciate. Mark Nepo has written The Book of Awakening, with 366 readings for every day.

Here is one that I appreciated for December 2nd

“An Invitation”

“Yours is to live it, not to reveal it. Helen Luke

Helen Luke was a very wise woman, deeply grounded in the life of the spirit. I knew Helen during the last two years of her life. During that time she was a mentor to me. These words are from our last conversation. They troubled me, for I have spent my life becoming a writer, thinking that my job has been just that – to reveal what is essential and hidden.

In the time since Helen died, I’ve come to understand her last instructions as an invitation to shed any grand purpose, no matter how devoted we may be to what we are doing. She wasn’t telling me to stop writing, but to stop striving to be important. She was inviting me to stop recording the poetry of life and to enter the poetry of life.

This lesson applies to us all. If we devote ourselves to the life at hand, the rest will follow. For life, it seems, reveals itself through those willing to live. Anything else, no matter how beautiful, is just advertising… I discovered that living is the original art.

Can you give me your source for the Rilke poem “Wherever you are, go out into the evening, leaving your room. . . .”

I just stumbled on your blog and love it.

You capture the essence of Thanksgiving with your thoughts and words.
There is nothing like family moments-savored!
