On this cold February morning, I remind myself of moments when I've truly experienced this heaven of earth.
Railay Beach, Thailand
(Dala Floda, Sweden; photos by B.L.)
"...not in the serious,
careful way
that we choose
this blossom or that blossom—
the way we praise or don't praise—
the way we love
or don't love—
but the way
we long to be—
that happy
in the heaven of earth—
that wild, that loving."
Read the full poem "Luke" by Mary Oliver, here on the Writer's Almanac (my favorite radio program / podcast).
