“Still, what I want in my life

is to be willing

to be dazzled-

to cast aside the weight 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…”

~Mary Oliver, “The Ponds”
