Wild & Precious

Many of us have read this line from Mary Oliver's poem, The Summer Day ...."Tell me, what it is you plan to do with  your one Wild and Precious life?"   As 2010 leads us into 2011, with the hands of the clock ticking millions of unknown moments filled with unexplored possibilities, we ponder Oliver's query anew.  Dreams, goals, and plans are swirling within us as the hands of time move forward. Looking back at a full year of living, we acknowledge the joys with gratefulness, we accept the sorrows with trust, we keep on learning what works, what doesn't, what can change, and what dreams are yet to unfold.  We carry on with our journey, discovering ways to live more fully and mindfully each day... simply living. Thoreau talks to the past and future in another one of my favorite reminders..."What lies behind us  and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us". Whatever you choose to dream and do in 2011, may your days enrich, inspire and nourish what lies within you and others. Blessings for 2011.
