He was positively drenched in enthusiasm I don't know why and yet why not..." ~ Mary Oliver

Discipline : make it part of a writing discipline to go out into the world and make some observations every day. I think it began with discipline because I did understand that any artistic venture requires a lot of discipline but it's no longer a discipline...
Embodied her own advice: "Instructions for living a life. Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it." "Flowers bend their bright bodies, and tip their fragrance to the air, and rise, their red stems holding all that dampness and recklessness gladly and lightly, and there it is again - beauty the brave, the exemplary, blazing open." ~ Mary Oliver
"...Just happens have you always done that..." ~ Mary Oliver
"Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable."~ Mary Oliver

"Take your busy heart ... to the forest. The song you heard singing in the leaf when you were a child is singing still." ~ Mary Oliver
Very close close close attention to things and seeing new details I love words I love the mechanics of poetry I often speak of the choreography of the poem on the page."
