Poem: Mary Oliver

It doesn't have to be the blue iris.
It can be a weed, in a vacant lot
or a few small stones:
just pay attention...

  1. Great !
    Reminded me of this:
    "To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour."
    William Blake
    Blessings !

  2. And this one too :
    “I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.” Isaac Newton
