Your One Wild and Precious Life

I love this part of a poem from Mary Oliver, "The Summer Day". Many times in my life I have felt totally stuck and hopeless. I can't really say how things began to shift and change and I once again felt hopeful and not stuck.

But things did shift and change. And I began to notice poems or lines from poems like this line that gave me even more hope. Helped me see my life as much bigger than I felt.

In my family lineage, with survival as the goal of a life, I did not learn to think big - bigger than me.

So it has taken time and patience on my part to honor my lineage and what they lived through and, AND to honor myself. My way. My life.

So tell me: what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? If you are feeling 'stuck', call/text me: 360-432-1236.
