Hey guys. How’s 2019 going so far? We are 22 days in… you keeping up with those resolutions?
Here’s a good resolution for you… one that I’d like to sit with for a while… "You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.

You only have to let the soft animal of your body

love what it loves." (This is an excerpt from "Wild Geese" by Mary Oliver)

I’ve been reading Mary Oliver's work over the past few weeks as part of a poetry exploration with my book club, and her poems have moved me to my core— especially this week. What seems to be a through line in her poetry is this : abundant life comes through opening your eyes and noticing the beauty and simplicity around you. The world is a gorgeous gift given to us to explore and enjoy.
You do not need to hustle. You do not need to be perfect. You do not need to kill yourself to follow all the rules. You are a beautiful piece of the masterpiece that is this world. You belong here, in this time and place, and you are never truly alone.

I don’t know what your resolutions are. Maybe to exercise more, eat less, put yourself out there more, grow in your faith, find love, get a job…
Do not be discouraged if on day 22, you’re not accomplishing what you set out to do. Just breathe. In and out. In and out. That oxygen in your lungs is a gift. The snow or the rain or the sun on your skin is a gift.
I’m going to try to open my eyes more. To not get consumed with the hustle, and to find myself in the wonder of the beauty surrounding me. I’m also going to do my best to let the “soft animal of my body love what it loves”. Thank you Mary Oliver. Rest in Peace. ? by @cibellelevi
