I love the line in your poem, “I am living not just in this body, but in this mind and this moment and this world, all at once!”
That reference to fleet foxes, along with Mary Oliver’s poem in your photo, made me think of their song helplessness blues - “if I know only one thing, it’s that everything that I see, of the world outside is so inconceivable. Often, I barely can speak”
Your poem reminds me of how lovely life can be when we allow ourselves to experience every aspect of it, the vast ocean AND the small grass hopper. And also the impact we can have on ourselves and others when we share that experience through our work and by creating. Thanks for sharing!
That’s literally one of my favorite songs of all time, let alone a top Fleet Foxes song!!! Thank you for commenting—I’m so glad it meant something to you. :)
