from "starlings in winter" by mary oliver

[dolique]

I want
to think again of dangerous and noble things.
I want to be light and frolicsome.
I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing

All I can say is: yes.

(I keep running into Mary Oliver on my flist and falling in love with her words. I absolutely must find a book of her poetry.)

Me also! Everything I run across by Mary Oliver I love, including this posted snippet, which indicates something! :)
