prewars:Mary Oliver, “Don’t Hesitate.”If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy,don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plentyof lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very oftenkind. And much can never be redeemed.Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps thisis its way of fighting back, that sometimessomething happens better than all the richesor power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instantwhen love begins. Anyway, that’s often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraidof its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb. -- source link
