"Begin doing what you want to do now, we are not living in eternity.
We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand-
and melting like a snowflake." Marie Beyon Ray

What I want
Still, what I want in my life
is to be willing to be dazzled —
to cast aside the weight of facts
and maybe even
to float a little
above this difficult world.
I want to believe I am looking
into the white fire of a great mystery.
I want to believe that the imperfections are nothing —
that the light is everything — that it is more than the sum
of each flawed blossom rising and fading. And I do.

Mary Oliver - love her. I haven't read this before. "imperfections are nothing - that the light is everything" What a comforting, lovely thought.
Thank you for sharing!
