Still, what I want in my life
is to be willingly
to be dazzled--
to cast aside the weigh of facts
and maybe even
to float a little
above this difficult world.
I want to believe I am looking
into the white fire of a great mystery.
I want to believe that the imperfections are nothing --
that the light is everything-- that it is more than the sum
of each flawed blossom rising and fading. And I do.
- Mary Oliver
