Your Wild and Precious Life – My Instagram Roundup

I start this Instagram Roundup with a quote from Mary Oliver (and what better way to start anything!) that says: “What is it you plan to do now with your one wild and precious life.” A few years ago, I got to see Mary Oliver at Marquette University. It was one of the best moments of my entire life, and I am in no way exaggerating. If you haven’t read her poetry yet, you should! Get some now. Start with this one. And then, keep going. Better yet, get her latest work, Devotions. Read the whole thing. Repeat.

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? Mary Oliver

Now that I got that off my chest, here’s the rest of my Instagram Roundup.

It's always a hoot when Amazon sends you a recommendation for your own stuff, but today I got a real blast from the past with my poetry book A New Dish, which was published in 2005. Wowsa! Thank you for the reminder, Amazon. ?

“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.” ― Osho
