Your One Wild and Precious Life...

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do 

with your one wild and precious life?"

Mary Oliver

These words hold profound meaning for me.

Deep down in every little pore and the core of my heart.

And each time I read the words, touch the words, feel the words...

And surrender to the question of the words...

I feel the desire, the calling, the longing... I feel the answer.

It's as though a voice inside is saying, "Come, this is the way...

Remind yourself to feel it. Remind yourself that you already know.

And trust yourself.

This is your one wild and precious life."

It is time. It is time to question. It is time to answer.

But mostly, it is time to live that question and answer too.

Much Loves,

Angela.

Your One Wild and Precious Life...

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do 

with your one wild and precious life?"

 

Mary Oliver

 

These words hold profound meaning for me. Personally.

 

Words that I believe, have been a true companion with me, year over year over year.

 

From the first time I ever read them, and that call and question deep within the heart.

 

Yes, tell me... Wake up every day and ask yourself that question.

 

"What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

So this is how you flow outwards. 

So this is how you pray."

This photograph is beautiful. Simply, truly beautiful.

This photograph and these words. Together, they are hand in hand.

And heart in heart.

The Question..

And that is just the point. How the world, moist and beautiful, 

calls to each of us to make a new and serious response. 

That is the big question, the one the world throws at you every morning. 

"Here you are, alive. Would you like to make a comment?"

As Though I had Wings...

"I feel my boots trying to leave the ground, 

I feel my heart pumping hard. 

I want to think again of dangerous and noble things. 

I want to be light and frolicsome. 

I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing,

as thought I had wings."

Mary Oliver

From the poem, "Starlings in Winter"... A poem that holds itself close to my heart.

And also, one of my favourite words... Frolicsome. Frolicsome. Frolicsome.

How beautiful is that?

Much Loves,

Angela.
