"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Attentiveness.

Ten times a day something happens to me like this - 


 ... some strengthening throb of amazement - 


... some good sweet empathic ping and swell. 


This is the first, the wildest and the wisest thing I know: 


... that the soul exists ...


... and is built ...


... entirely out of attentiveness.

- Mary Oliver

Thank YOU, Jess.
