All my life

Okay, I've just got to refer to Rebekah's blog again. She inspires me. I'll urge you to check out her recent posts if you haven't already. Here's a sampling from one of those recent posts, a Mary Oliver poem that well expresses her desires (that I wish were moreso mine as well):

When it's over, I want to say: all my life

I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it's over, I don't want to wonder

if I have made of my life something particular, and real.

I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened,

or full of argument.


I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.


- Mary Oliver
