Mary Oliver awesomeness

One must work with creative powers -- for not to work with is to work against. Mary Oliver

I rediscovered some old notes of mine, quotes and poem snippets of Mary Oliver. Directly meaningful to my days yet, here are a few to share.

Enjoy. Absorb.

Things are holy first

and useful second.

I simply do not distinguish between work and play.

I believe in kindness.

Also in mischief.

And then there’s this nugget. I encourage you to also to unveil your own version:

There were times over the years when life was not easy, but if yo;re working a few hours a day and you've got a good book to read, and you can go outside to the beach and dig for clams, you're okay. Mary Oliver

There are times when life is not easy, but if I’m purposeful a few hours a day and I’ve got a good book to read, and I can go outside to the lake and watch for otters, I’m okay.

my own current adaptation of Mary oliver’s quote
