My Favorite

Holy Spirit

Mary Oliver is my companion as of late.

My current favorite is: THE POET COMPARES HUMAN NATURE TO THE OCEAN FROM WHICH WE CAME.

The sea can do craziness, it can do smooth,
it can lie down like silk breathing
or toss havoc shoreward; it can give

gifts and withhold all; it can rise, ebb, froth
like an incoming frenzy of fountains, or it can
sweet-talk entirely. As I can too,

and so, no doubt, can you, and you.
