Mary oliver .
I really love her work . She really gets to the core of nature and mindfulness in her poetry ? What do you think of this one ?
I worried
I worried a lot. Will the garden grow, will the rivers
flow in the right direction.will the earth turn
as it was taught and if not how shall i
correct it.
Was I right was I wrong will I be forgiven
can I do better
Will I ever be able to sing even the sparrows
can do it and I am well
hopeless
Is my eyesight fading or am I just imaging it
am I going to get rheumatism
lockjaw, dementia?
Finally I saw that worrying had come to nothing
And gave it up. And took my old body
and went out into the morning
and sang.
