How perfectly and neatly opens the pink rose this bright morning, the sun warm on my shoulders, its heat on the opening petals. Possibly it is the smallest, the least important event at this moment in the whole world. Yet I stand there, utterly happy. —Mary Oliver

How perfectly
and neatly
opens the pink rose

this bright morning,
the sun warm
on my shoulders,

its heat
on the opening petals.
Possibly

it is the smallest,
the least important event
at this moment

in the whole world.
Yet I stand there,
utterly happy.

—Mary Oliver

When you set out on your journey to Ithaca,
pray that the road is long, full of adventure,
full of knowledge.

It’s wide open.
