Scott Connor, a dear friend & wwoof at Mana shared this beautiful poem by Mary Oliver at the morning circle. It was so touching we felt to share it with the world…
| Have you ever seen | | anything | | in your life | | more wonderful | | | | than the way the sun, | | every evening, | | relaxed and easy, | | floats toward the horizon | | | | and into the clouds or the hills, | | or the rumpled sea, | | and is gone– | | and how it slides again | | | | out of the blackness, | | every morning, | | on the other side of the world, | | like a red flower | | | | streaming upward on its heavenly oils, | | say, on a morning in early summer, | | at its perfect imperial distance– | | and have you ever felt for anything | | such wild love– | | do you think there is anywhere, in any language, | | a word billowing enough | | for the pleasure | | | | that fills you, | | as the sun | | reaches out, | | as it warms you | | | | as you stand there, | | empty-handed– | | or have you too | | turned from this world– | | | | or have you too | | gone crazy | | for power, | | for things? |
