I’m not twenty…by Mary Oliver!

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Some reflections when we think everything fails… Keep’ on going. Read this “Self-Portrait by Mary Oliver”

I wish I was twenty and in love with life
and still full of beans.

Onward, old legs!
There are the long, pale dunes; on the other side
the roses are blooming and finding their labor
no adversity to the spirit.

Upward, old legs! There are the roses, and there is the sea
shining like a song, like a body
I want to touch

though I’m not twenty
and won’t be again but ah! seventy. And still
in love with life. And still
full of beans.
