“Instructions for living a life. 
Pay attention. 
Be astonished. 
Tell about it.” 
― Mary Oliver





don't you love her words?



i use to read beautiful words like these
and think never me. . . 
my life is so normal


but i have learned over the past year
that life is all about paying attention
and being astonished


and if we are open to it
life jumps out at us



and the universe speaks to us



it's not rocket science you know
life is begging to be witnessed 
and lived. . . 




and all we have to do is 
choose to participate


a few uploads from instagram, who i have forgiven. 
i hope your day is astonshing, 
xxoox

  1. How amazing! I first read Mary Oliver's words on Kim's Beyond Layers post this morning. Then I came over here ... to find them here. It's an omen, I'm sure ... so I've added this quote to my collection of quotes.

  2. Again, beautiful. I find myself looking everyday to see if you've posted. You've become part of my routine. I miss the posts on FB, but only because I'm lazy. Your photos and your words inspire me. I wish I could be so brave. Thanks!

Thank you for taking the time to leave me a comment. I do take time to read each and every one and I love to hear what you have to say.
