Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it. — Mary Oliver

Two or three times in my life I discovered love.

Each time it seemed to solve everything.

Each time it solved a great many things

but not everything.

Yet left me as grateful as if it had indeed, and

thoroughly, solved everything.

So every day

I was surrounded by the beautiful crying forth

of the ideas of God,one of which was you.

I don't know what God is.

I don't know what death is.But I believe they have between them

some fervent and necessary arrangement.
