Desire change. Be enthusiastic for that flame
in which a thing escapes your grasp
while it makes a glorious display of transformation.
That designing Spirit, the master mind of all things on earth
loves nothing so much in the sweeping movement of the dance
as the turning point.

Boy that man Always nails it!
Chicago Ant
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting--
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
"Wild Geese" by Mary Oliver
This is why I keep a blog ... for the conversation, the pearls of inspiration that all of you bring...
Officially...I am missing London (perhaps a past life or two) anyway check out The Knit-Nurse Chronicles (google it) and it might take you away a bit.
Chicago Ant...channeling London Ant ~ although I did not see any ants there.
