I was supposed to be
this morning--
whatever it was I said
I would be doing--
I would be doing--
I was standing
at the edge of the field--
I was hurrying
through my own soul,
through my own soul,
opening its dark doors--
I was leaning out;
I was listening.

Hello, my dear friend Noni,
Okay, blogger wasn't kind to me and wouldn't let me comment. Let's try again.
You are among the bloggers who have published poems (or excerpts) by Mary Oliver. I must check her out soon!
Sorry I haven't been commenting lately. I haven't been commenting anywhere. Real life intruded, big time. But now I am back and intend to have a fabulous summer, which includes re-connecting with my best blogging friends.
I am off to see what other posts I missed. I hope you don't mind if I don't comment on them all. I just got too far behind.
Love, Julie
I love reflections!
Beautiful reflection. :)
What a nice picture, very intimate. The poem is really, really beautiful too.
The place looks so peaceful. :) Love the poem that goes with it.
I love the serenity and mystery of this moment you captured, perfectly complemented by lines from Mary Oliver. It's always great to see the world as you discover it -- thanks!
I would have shot the photo and then sat down and drank in the peacefulness!
Beautiful!
