Twigs and Feathers

Hummingbird nest on Hornby Island, B.C.'

You don’t have to move quickly


You need only to rest and


continue to glide as one 


No need to beg forgiveness


of memory’s guidelines


Reason only to respect today 


for tomorrow has yet to arrive


Remembering that even birds in flight


come to rest in their nests of twigs and feathers.


“Meanwhile the world goes on.”

~ Mary Oliver,  Wild Geese


**Inspired by a morning random thought and the poem Wild Geese, by Mary Oliver
