Läs orden långsamt, låt dem sjunka in. Ner i floden bakom floden av vardagens brusande gnangande surr. Ner i djupet.
Detta är en klassiker av Mary Oliver, med lite annan ordning för att belysa andra delar som ibland inte kommer fram när vi fastnat i de första raderna. Lite som livet självt, visst du vet vad vi menar…
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.
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.
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.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
In the family of things ❤️🩹
