Praying
It doesn’t have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch
a few words together and don’t try
to make them elaborate, this isn’t
a conblog but the doorway
into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.
– Mary Oliver
Ah, the sublime Mary Oliver. Good choice, Colleen.
Sublime describes her perfectly. I never fail to be knocked out by Mary Oliver.
