An excerpt from "Evidence" by Mary Oliver:

I believe in kindness. Also in mischief. Also in
singing, especially when singing is not necessarily
prescribed.

I come back to this post every so often. We can't win with poetry alone, but without poetry what world are we hoping for? https://biketoworkbarb.blogspot.com/2023/08/we-are-ones-weve-been-waiting-for-poems.html

I love the philosophy and artistic style of Oxherd Boy, Regina Linke. The latest drawing features a Bertolt Brecht poem.

"Motto"
by Bertolt Brecht

In the dark times
Will there be singing?
Yes, there will be singing.
About the dark times.

On Peace by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

"There is so much I cannot do
to help the world,
but this—
let me learn to metabolize
silence as the alga in lichen
metabolizes light."

"Remember" by Joy Harjo--excerpt.

"Remember the earth whose skin you are:
red earth, black earth, yellow earth, white earth
brown earth, we are earth.
Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their
tribes, their families, their histories, too. Talk to them,
listen to them. They are alive poems."

"Morning Offering" by John O'Donohue is a wonderful start to the day. Excerpt:

"May I have the courage today
To live the life that I would love,
To postpone my dream no longer
But do at last what I came here for
And waste my heart on fear no more."

Found thanks to the excerpt posted Phyllis Cole-Dai's site "The Raft". https://phylliscoledai.substack.com/p/the-daily-boost-798 Phyllis edited the books Poetry of Presence and Poetry of Presence II and I read from her 3-year collection of mindfulness poems every morning. https://www.ayearofbeinghere.com/

Excerpt from "A Prayer Among Friends"
John Daniel

Among other wonders of our lives, we are alive
with one another, we walk here
in the light of this unlikely world
that isn't ours for long.
