I’ll just leave you with this. I don’t care how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. It’s enough to know that for some people they exist, and that they dance. #MaryOliver#poem#poetry

A person holding a sticker and smirking at the camera. The person is pale, with dark eyes and long, wavy hair. They are wearing a black shirt with white bats all over it. The sticker is a black rectangle with text in dripping, bloody red letters: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE GOOD

My favorite poet, Mary Oliver, BTD in 1935: “How perfect to be aboard a ship with Maybe a hundred years still in my pocket. But it’s late, for all of us, And in truth the only ship there is Is the ship we are all on Burning the world as we go.” ~ from "On Traveling to Beautiful Places" #Poetry

On a background watercolor of misty evergreen trees is the full text of Mary Oliver’s poem:
On Traveling to Beautiful Places 
by Mary Oliver

Every day I’m still looking for God
and I’m still finding him everywhere,
in the dust, in the flowerbeds.

Certainly in the oceans,
In the islands that lay in the distance
Continents of ice, countries of sand
Each with its own set of creatures
And God, by whatever name.

How perfect to be aboard a ship with
Maybe a hundred years still in my pocket.

But it’s late, for all of us,
And in truth the only ship there is
Is the ship we are all on
Burning the world as we go.

“The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave to it neither power nor time.” - #MaryOliver (born: 10 September 1935)

Mary Oliver is famous for her poetry. She should also be remembered for writing this... #MaryOliver#Empire#America#USA#Poetry

Mary Oliver
Of The Empire  

We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days,was small, and hard, and full of meanness.
