MinJungKim.com Braindump v 6.0 Gah. I’m still doing this?

An aside and a reminder.

First, an aside.

Last night Coley dreamt she was in a chimney floo. I dreamt my honey had a fever/flu and couldn’t remember me. Today he woke up coughy and with chills.

That’s all totally weird.

Next, a reminder.

That each day of our lives requires a moment of pause, for reflection, meditation, digestion, appreciation, and breathing.

And oh yes, every now and again, some poetry.

My favorite:

Wild Geese
by Mary Oliver

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.

from Dream Work by Mary Oliver

my favorite, too. What a pleasure, in the midst of being inside my stress-and-storyline-filled head, to have this gentle reminder.
Thank you.
