Today is Day 15.
And today my words are taking a mini Sabbath rest here, mid-way through the series. (Yes, I know, it is a Wednesday). But you are in for a treat. Listen to the words of one of my favorite poets, Mary Oliver. Mary amazes me and inspires me. She feeds my poetic longings with her gentle lines of noticing. And she sees God’s world, His hand, His creation through a wonderfully unique poetic lens.
Sometimes I need only to stand wherever I am to be blessed.
To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.
When it’s over, I want to say: All my life I was a bride married to amazement.
—Mary Oliver

Now, ready, set, go notice. ( And I will be back tomorrow, rested and ready, with more poetry)
