"I held my breath as we do sometimes to stop time when something wonderful has touched us . . ."

"Sometimes I need
only to stand
wherever I am
to be blessed."
~Mary Oliver

she always has the right words.  sometimes when reading Mary Oliver's work i wonder if somehow she snuck deep into my brain, pulled back the quilt that was covering up the communications i had been digging for.  words i couldn't quite string together or lacked thereof.  she found and put voice to what my soul was feeling, when i read her work  it resonates deeply and i find myself nodding and my heart saying, 'exactly'.

i look forward to picking up her latest A Thousand Mornings.  i can't decide if i want to purchase the hardcover of kindle edition.

something about holding it in your hands, but something about having it with you wherever you go . . .

  4. I feel exactly the same way about the words of Mary Oliver. I didn't know she had a new book coming out...it's now on the Christmas list. ;)

    Oh...and hardcover, for sure.
