"The water of the spring is most healing and most inspiring, because it comes from above and falls to the earth. That is the character of the inspirational mind. The heart that springs, that like a spring pours water in the form of inspiration, be it in poetry, be it in music, in whatever form, it...

For example, what the trees do not only in lightning storms or the watery dark of a summer's night or under the white nets of winter but...

A series of occasional posts of contemporary poetry with a Druidic spirit (in my humble druid opinion). Wild Geese by Mary Oliver You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love...
