“The dream of my life is to lie down by a slow river and stare at the light in the trees - to learn something by being nothing” LifeDreamLightLife IsLyingReligionTreeRiversStaring Book:Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver Source: Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver
“My life is routine. I wake up early in the morning. I brush my teeth. I sit on the floor of the cell I do not go to breakfast. I stare at a gray cement wall. I keep my legs crossed my back straight my eyes forward. I take deep breaths in and out, in and out, and I try not to move. I sit for as long as I can I sit until everything hurts I sit until everything stops hurting I sit until I lose myself in the gray wall I sit until my mind becomes as blank as the gray wall. I sit and I stare and I breathe. I sit and I stare. I breathe.” TryingMindLongI CanEyeMovingLife IsLosesHurtMorningWallWake UpBreathsLegsBreatheTeethCellsStaringBreakfastGrayRoutineBlankBrushesDeep BreathCementUp Early Book:My Friend Leonard Source: My Friend Leonard
