In loving memory of the ever-luminous Mary Oliver…
I thought:
maybe death
isn’t darkness, after all,
but so much light
wrapping itself around us–
~Mary Oliver, (1935 – 2019)

to be warm yellow light
I really just want
to be warm yellow light
that pours
over everyone I love.

is to stand still in the light.

Everything
Everything is made out of Magic,
leaves and trees, flowers and birds,
badgers and foxes and squirrels and people.
So it must be all around us. In this garden–in all the places.
~Frances Hodgson Burnett, (1849 – 1924)
despite all of the darkness
Hope is being able to see
that there is light
despite all of the darkness.

If the world seems cold
If the world seems cold to you,
kindle fires to warm it.

the miracle of a sunrise
We can only appreciate
the miracle of a sunrise
if we have waited in the darkness.

beyond the beauty
I, the fiery life of divine essence,
am aflame beyond the beauty of the meadows.
I gleam in the waters,
and I burn in the sun, moon, and stars. . .
I awaken everything to life.
~Hildegard of Bingen, (1098 – 1179)
in the path of its beam
I cannot cause light;
the most I can do is try to put myself in the path of its beam.
~Annie Dillard
