You do not have to be good.
I’ve actually never read this before. Thank you!
It’s such a good one! What an honor to have introduced you to it. 🤗
My favorite poem of them all
I do not have to be good
I do not have to crawl through the desert
for a hundred miles on my knees
repenting
I only have to let the soft animal of my body love what it loves
thank you for sharing this :)
Yes, a good mantra for so many of us!
Wild Geese was my introduction to Mary Oliver. I love her other poetry as well, but like you, keep getting pulled to this one. There is so much to learn in these words
So much to learn! Thank you for sharing and reading, Marci!
