<i><b>The First Time Percy Came Back</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The first time Percy came back</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>he was sailing on a cloud...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"Percy," I cried out, and reached to him-</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
When I first read the poem, my sister had died only a few weeks earlier. She had come back to us in dreams, first to my niece, and then to me, young, healthy, and thin. She lived through a long illness, as did both my parents, and my father- and mother-in-law. They are all gone, yet they keep coming back to me, sometimes more frequently and vividly than they did when they first died. Heck, even more than when they were alive. My wish to have them with me also grows stronger.<br />
<br />
Why couldn't I see their music, their beauty, more when they were alive? Why does it seem so hard to touch that inescapable wonder in each and every one of us, and in each and every moment?<br />
<br />
We live through such depths of pain, misery, and loss, all which hollow us out. But there, in that pit, an orchestra made up of all whom we have known, know, and will know, sounds loudly, "wake up!"<br />
<br />
<i>Questions for Reflection</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Whom do you wish would come back? What would you say to them? Do?<br />
<br />
Do those who have died or gone away ever really leave us?<br />
<br />
Who can you find, today, to tell a story of loss, and of a coming back to life?LoraKim Joynerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07305359695072392847noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143742537514581543.post-29191496327166811182016-07-06T04:12:00.003-07:002016-07-06T05:41:49.367-07:00Today<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>I'm letting all the voodoos of ambition sleep.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The world goes on as it must,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
Where and what is the temple? I suppose it could be the place where we plunge into the ocean, returning? Or where we run through the meadow and leap into gods' arms? Maybe the temple is where we shine the mirror only to have the temple burn down around us? It's probably all those things - we just keep trying doors to enter, and breathe deep when the forces of life slam the doors in our faces. But no matter, because I'm taking a wild guess here, the temple lies on both sides of the door.<br />
<br />
Questions for Reflection:<br />
<br />
1. What ambitions keep you from rest? Or keep you from your "temple."<br />
2. What is your temple?<br />
3.

<b>SPOKEN INVOCATION</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>“The Summer Day”</b> by Mary Oliver<br />
Who made this world?<br />
Who made the swan, and the black bear?<br />
Who made the grasshopper?<br />
This grasshopper, I mean -<br />
the one who has flung herself out of the grass,<br />
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,<br />
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down -<br />
who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.<br />
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.<br />
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.<br />
I don’t know exactly what a prayer is.<br />
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down<br />
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,<br />
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,<br />
which is what I have been doing all day.<br />
Tell me, what else should I have done?<br />
Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?<br />
Tell me, what is it you plan to do<br />
with your one wild and precious life?<br />
<br />
<b>CHALICE LIGHTING</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
On the eleventh Sunday of the season, we dedicate our chalice to the fourth source of the living tradition we share: Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God’s love by loving our neighbors as ourselves. These chalice lighting words are from Mary Oliver:<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
“Hello, sun in my face. Hello you who made the morning and spread it over the fields… Watch now, how I start the day in happiness, in kindness.”<br />
<br />
<b>INTRODUCTION</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
We celebrate today the poetry of Mary Oliver and commemorate her birthday. Mary will turn 80 in a week and a half, on Sep 10.<br />
<br />
She is far and away America’s best-selling poet. In a country where most people find poetry intimidating – convoluted and confusing – where poetry is regarded as a nice idea but not something one would want to spend much time with – Mary Oliver stands alone as a poet with a mass readership. With unadorned language and accessible themes, her poetry combines dark introspection with joyous release.<br />
<br />
Three of her poems are in the back of our hymnal, including the responsive reading we’ll have today, and in the years since our hymnal was published in 1993 she has only grown in popularity among Unitarian Universalists. So often is she read from in Unitarian Universalist worship, that then-President of the UUA, Rev. William Sinkford, called Mary Oliver “one of our most important liturgists.”<br />
<br />
Mary Oliver was born in the depression in a semi-rural suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. Her first poetry collection was published in 1963 when she was 28. Since then, 21 more books of poems, plus six books of prose have followed.<br />
<br />
Her poems draw inspiration from nature. Her practice has been to go on long early-morning walks through the wetlands and forests around her home in Provincetown, Massachusetts at the tip end of Cape Cod. She simply walks and pays attention – stopping occasionally to jot down a note. She has written: “To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.” Mary’s “Instructions for living a life” are:<br />
<ul></ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<li>Pay attention. </li>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<li>Be astonished. </li>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<li>Tell about it.</li>
<br />
<br />
And this is what she modeled. On her walks she paid attention and was astonished, and in her poems, she told us about it. She says:<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
"When it's over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms." <br />
In the late 1950s, Mary met photographer Molly Malone Cook, who would become her partner for over forty years. Mary later wrote: "I took one look and fell, hook and tumble." Until Molly died in 2005, the two lived together in Provincetown, and Molly was Mary’s literary agent.<br />
<br />
Mary commented in a rare interview:<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
"When things are going well, you know, the walk does not get rapid or get anywhere: I finally just stop, and write. That's a successful walk!"<br />
She says that she once found herself walking in the woods with no pen and later hid pencils in the trees so she would not be stuck in that place again. She might forget to bring a pen or pencil, but she always had her 3-by-5-inch hand-sewn notebook for recording impressions and phrases.<br />
<br />
The Harvard Review describes her work as an antidote to<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
"inattention and the baroque conventions of our social and professional lives. She is a poet of wisdom and generosity whose vision allows us to look intimately at a world not of our making."<br />
Critic Alicia Ostriker numbered Mary among America's finest poets:<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
"visionary as Emerson [... she is] among the few American poets who can describe and transmit ecstasy, while retaining a practical awareness of the world as one of predators and prey."<br />
<br />
<b>READING</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Seven poems by Mary Oliver<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://yearsrisingmaryoliver.blogspot.com/2010/03/in-blackwater-woods-march-15-2010.html">“In Blackwater Woods”</a></b><br />
<br />
Look, the trees are turning their own bodies into pillars of light,<br />
are giving off the rich fragrance of cinnamon and fulfillment,<br />
the long tapers of cattails are bursting and floating away over the blue shoulders of the ponds,<br />
and every pond, no matter what its name is, is nameless now.<br />
Every year everything I have ever learned in my lifetime leads back to this: the fires<br />
and the black river of loss whose other side is salvation,<br />
whose meaning none of us will ever know.<br />
To live in this world you must be able to do three things:<br />
to love what is mortal;<br />
to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it;<br />
and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://yearsrisingmaryoliver.blogspot.com/2010/04/spring-april-6-2010.html">“Spring”</a></b><br />
<br />
Somewhere a black bear has just risen from sleep and is staring down the mountain.<br />
All night in the brisk and shallow restlessness of early spring.<br />
I think of her, her four black fists flicking the gravel,<br />
her tongue like a red fire touching the grass, the cold water.<br />
There is only one question: how to love this world.<br />
I think of her rising like a bland and leafy ledge to sharpen her claws against<br />
the silence of the trees.<br />
Whatever else my life is with its poems and its music and its glass cities,<br />
it is also this dazzling darkness coming down the mountain breathing and tasting;<br />
all day I think of her – her white teeth, her wordlessness, her perfect love.<br />
<br />
<b>“When Death Comes”</b><br />
<br />
When death comes like the hungry bear in autumn;<br />
when death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse to buy me,<br />
and snaps the purse shut;<br />
when death comes like the measle-pox<br />
when death comes like an iceberg between the shoulder blades,<br />
I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering:<br />
what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness?<br />
And therefore I look upon everything<br />
as a brotherhood and a sisterhood,<br />
and I look upon time as no more than an idea,<br />
and I consider eternity as another possibility,<br />
and I think of each life as a flower, as common<br />
as a field daisy, and as singular,<br />
and each name a comfortable music in the mouth,<br />
tending, as all music does, toward silence,<br />
and each body a lion of courage, and something<br />
precious to the earth.<br />
When it's over, I want to say all my life<br />
I was a bride married to amazement.<br />
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.<br />
When it's over, I don't want to wonder<br />
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.<br />
I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened,<br />
or full of argument.<br />
I don't want to end up simply having visited this world<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://yearsrisingmaryoliver.blogspot.com/2010/03/one-or-two-things-march-25-2010.html">“One or Two Things”</a></b><br />
<br />
Don't bother me.<br />
I've just been born.<br />
The butterfly's loping flight carries it through the country of the leaves<br />
delicately, and well enough to get it<br />
where it wants to go, wherever that is, stopping<br />
here and there to fuzzle the damp throats<br />
of flowers and the black mud; up<br />
and down it swings, frenzied and aimless; and sometimes<br />
for long delicious moments it is perfectly<br />
lazy, riding motionless in the breeze on the soft stalk<br />
of some ordinary flower.<br />
The god of dirt came up to me many times and said<br />
so many wise and delectable things, I lay on the grass listening<br />
to his dog voice, crow voice, frog voice; now,<br />
he said, and now, and never once mentioned forever,<br />
which has nevertheless always been, like a sharp iron hoof, at the center of my mind.<br />
One or two things are all you need to travel over the blue pond, over the deep<br />
roughage of the trees and through the stiff flowers of lightning—some deep<br />
memory of pleasure, some cutting knowledge of pain.<br />
But to lift the hoof !<br />
For that you need an idea.<br />
<br />
<b>“The Notebook”</b><br />
<br />
“Six a.m. –<br />
the small, pond turtle lifts its head into the air like a green toe.<br />
It looks around.<br />
What it sees is the whole world swirling back from darkness:<br />
a red sun rising over the water, over the pines,<br />
and the wind lifting, and the water-striders heading out,<br />
and the white lilies opening their happy bodies.<br />
The turtle doesn’t have a word for any of it –<br />
The silky water or the enormous blue morning, or the curious affair of his own body.<br />
On the shore I’m so busy scribbling and crossing out<br />
I almost miss seeing him paddle away through the wet, black forest.<br />
More and more the moments come to me: how much can the right word do?<br />
Now a few of the lilies are a faint flamingo inside their white hearts<br />
and there is still time to let the last roses of the sunrise float down into my uplifted eyes.”<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://yearsrisingmaryoliver.blogspot.com/2010/07/mindful.html">“Mindful”</a></b><br />
<br />
Every day I see or hear something that more or less<br />
kills me with delight, that leaves me like a needle<br />
in the haystack of light. It was what I was born for - to look, to listen,<br />
to lose myself inside this soft world - to instruct myself over and over<br />
in joy, and acclamation. Nor am I talking about the exceptional,<br />
the fearful, the dreadful, the very extravagant - but of the ordinary, the common, the very drab,<br />
the daily presentations. Oh, good scholar, I say to myself, how can you help<br />
but grow wise with such teachings as these - the untrimmable light<br />
of the world, the ocean's shine, the prayers that are made out of grass?<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://yearsrisingmaryoliver.blogspot.com/2010/10/another-everyday-poem-october-23-2010.html">“Another Everyday Poem”</a></b><br />
<br />
Every day I consider the lilies -- how they are dressed –<br />
and the ravens -- how they are fed -- and how each of these is a miracle<br />
of Lord-love and of sorrow -- for the lilies in their bright dresses<br />
cannot last but wrinkle fast and fall, and the little ravens<br />
in their windy nest rise up in such pleasure at the sight<br />
of fresh meat that makes their lives sweet -- and what a puzzle it is that such brevity –<br />
The lavish clothes, the ruddy food -- makes the world so full, so good.<br />
<br />
<b>PRAYER</b><br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
<i>“It doesn’t have to be the blue iris. It could be weeds in a vacant lot, or a few small stones. Just pay attention. Then patch a few words together – and don’t try to make them elaborate. This isn’t a contest but the doorway into thanks, and a silence in which another voice may speak.”</i> (Mary Oliver, "Praying")<br />
<br />
God of dirt, from which and for which we live:<br />
Grow in us the faith to trust in your care even in the midst of pain. We are never alone, ever in your midst, and yet so often we seem astray and estranged.<br />
<br />
We mourn this week and hold in our hearts:<br />
The deaths of 15 from suicide bombers in Lahore, Pakistan, outside two Christian churches.<br />
The destruction by ISIS of the 2000-year-old temple in Palmyra, Syria.<br />
The chemical attack in Syria affecting dozens of civilians.<br />
That continued use of rape as a weapon of war in many places throughout the world, where women are devalued and seen only as property;<br />
Wildfires burning across five western stated.<br />
The extreme volatility of stock markets worldwide.<br />
The continuing flood of refugees largely from Afghanistan, Nigeria, Eritrea and Syria struggling through hardship and danger to seek a new life in Western European countries.<br />
<br />
Where our hearts are fearful and constricted, may we find courage and hope.<br />
Where our minds are infected by anxiety, may we find peace and reassurance.<br />
Where our vision can see no possibility, may we find imagination and resistance.<br />
Where our spirits are daunted and distrustful, may we find connection and strength.<br />
<br />
We celebrate:<br />
The work of “Doctors Without Borders” whose members are treating the all victims of that chemical attack in Syria.<br />
The firefighters laboring at risk against those wildfires – they have come from as far away as Australia and New Zealand.<br />
The one surviving panda cub born at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.<br />
The diplomatic agreement between North and South Korea, which will result in the reunions of families separated by the Korean War.<br />
The courage and faith of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter dealing with his diagnosis of advanced cancer.<br />
The resilience and courage of the people of New Orleans, ten years after Hurricane Katrina.<br />
<br />
God of dirt, grow in us the resolve and capacity to be agents of healing love and liberating justice.<br />

Every morning the world is created.<br />

<i>Under the orange sticks of the sun the heaped ashes of the night turn into leaves again</i><br />
And fasten themselves to the high branches— and the ponds appear like black cloth on which are painted islands of summer lilies.<br />

<i>If it is your nature to be happy you will swim away along the soft trails for hours, your imagination alighting everywhere. </i><br />
And if your spirit carries within it the thorn that is heavier than lead— if it's all you can do to keep on trudging—<br />

<br />
<i>There is still somewhere deep within you a beast shouting that the earth is exactly what it wanted—</i><br />

Our Unitarian Universal General Assembly happens every year in June. One of the highlights is always the Ware lecture. Cornel West gave the Ware lecture last June when General Assembly was in Portland. I was there in person, and it was an electrifying experience. Cornel West was rousing and impassioned. I hope you’ve had a chance to see the video of that – we had a showing here last month, and it’s <a href="http://www.uua.org/multiculturalism/ga/ware-west">online at uua.org</a>.<br />
<br />
Nine years earlier, at the 2006 General Assembly in St. Louis, I was in attendance for a very different Ware lecture. The speaker was Mary Oliver. The Rev. William G. Sinkford, then-President of the Unitarian Universalist Association, introduced Mary, and he said that while Unitarian Universalist worship draws from many sources, congregations use "none more effectively or more frequently than the work of Mary Oliver." Sinkford did call her "one of our most important liturgists." He also noted that she probably didn't plan that to happen.<br />
<br />
Mary came on and read to us from her poems for about an hour. The 2006 Ware Lecture was a poetry reading. It was as moving and powerful in its way as Cornel West’s was in a very different way. Three thousand other Unitarian Universalists were with me sharing that experience of Mary simply reading her poems, and from the feeling in the room when it was over, it seemed that three thousand Unitarian Universalist hearts were overflowing with peacefulness and a gratitude for this Earth and this life.<br />
<br />
About half-way through, after reading a lot of her more recent material, she said, “Here’s an old, old poem everybody wants me to read. So I’ll do it.” As she started into it, I found myself mouthing the words along with her because I know it by heart. It’s called <a href="http://yearsrisingmaryoliver.blogspot.com/2010/03/wild-geese-march-19-2010-you-do-not.html">“Wild Geese.”</a><br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
You do not have to be good.<br />
You do not have to walk on your knees<br />
For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.<br />
You only have to let the soft animal of your body<br />
love what it loves.<br />
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.<br />
Meanwhile the world goes on.<br />
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain<br />
are moving across the landscapes,<br />
over the prairies and the deep trees,<br />
the mountains and the rivers.<br />
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,<br />
are heading home again.<br />
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,<br />
the world offers itself to your imagination,<br />
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting --<br />
over and over announcing your place<br />
in the family of things.<br />
<br />
We are surrounded by life of so many different kinds. Our lives are embedded in the rich network of life – your thread and mine woven into the fabric of this planet along with dogs and cats and hamsters, along with squirrels and chipmunks and deer, along with robins and nuthatches and goldfinches, along with cicadas and ants and mosquitos, along with trout and tadpoles and tuna -- along with geese. We’re woven together with all of them, and that’s our place – what we were made from and what we are made for.<br />
<br />
And.<br />
<br />
We get lost. Over and over we find ourselves in the place Dante found himself in at the beginning of <i>The Inferno</i>:<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
“Midway on our life’s journey, I found myself in dark woods, the right road lost.”<br />
We seem to have gone astray – find ourselves feeling separated from that fabric only within which we can realize our wholeness. And we tackle the problem with the tool we have: this enormous brain of ours, bigger in proportion to our body size than any other animal’s. We deploy the elaborate structures of moral judgment and strategizing intellect and go to work figuring out to how to be better, figuring out where that right road was and how to get back to it, figuring out how to be good.<br />
<br />
Then along comes this little poem. The first line says: You know what? You do not have to be good. You really don’t. You can put that burden down. You can stop beating yourself up, stop punishing yourself in the hope that such ritual acts of self-inflicted repentance will transform you. You do not have to be good.<br />
<br />
"Really? I don’t? How could that be? Where’s the argument, the reasoning for this claim that I don’t have to be good? On what evidence?"<br />
<br />
The first evidence the poet mentions is your despair. “Tell me about despair, yours,” she says, inviting you to make her argument for her. This is the fruit of all that trying to be good: it just leads to despair.<br />
<br />
The second evidence is life going on. Sun and rain, falling in those clear pebbles, keep moving, moving across the landscape, prairie, trees, mountains, rivers. The earth, full of wide and intricate vistas, just keeps turning -- and it will keep turning, not caring whether you are good.<br />
<br />
The third evidence, the real clincher, is those geese. They don’t have to be good. They can just be geese. Just being who they are, they belong. And that means you do, too. The bald fact that they exist -- that they flap their wings and honk and fly together in their goosey formations – they feed, and molt, and produce goslings – all the things that merely manifest their goosehood – thereby also proclaims that they belong on this Earth, this Earth that they bring forth even as it brings them forth.<br />
<br />
That’s how they announce their own and therefore also your place in the family of things – that’s how they announce it over and over.<br />
<br />
You have the undeniable and unimpeachable authority of geese vouching for your belonging, documenting your citizenship in this world, revealing that the family of all things has a place for you, telling you exactly what that place is. Because you have their guarantee, you don’t have to earn it. You really don’t have to be good. You just have to be you. Love what you love. That is all that is asked.<br />
<br />
My UU minister colleague Rev. <a href="http://sermonsinstones.com/2011/07/01/mary-oliver-is-a-mediocre-poet-and-its-okay/">Amy Zucker Morgenstern argues that Mary Oliver’s poems are mediocre.</a> Rev. Morgenstern finds Ms. Oliver’s poems too obvious. She says the lovely images inevitably draw to the predictable conclusion, where the poem tells you what the moral is, the lesson taught by the natural world. A lot of people who are serious about their poetry don’t want morals or lessons tacked on – at least not simple obvious ones. They want their poems to be difficult.<br />
<br />
Rev. Morgenstern mentions Rainer Maria Rilke as an example of a better poet because she has to read Rilke’s poems<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
“many times before I dig out their deeper meanings, and when I hold one of those meanings in my hand I know it’s the first of many, that that poem will keep revealing more to me the more times I read it.” <br />
My colleague has a point. I also read Rilke, and it is an experience of poetry at a rather different level. There is a pleasure, too, in plunging into difficulty, laboring through layers of complexity.<br />
<br />
Rev. Morgenstern then goes on to say that the very failings of Mary Oliver’s poems make them excellent liturgy:<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
“In a worship service, just as the hymns must be fairly simple to sing, the readings have to convey their meaning the first time, to listeners who don’t have another chance to go back and read them again or hear them again . . . They have to be very accessible. . . . Oliver’s poems are good liturgy for the same reason they are mediocre poetry. They deliver a poignant thought or a morsel of good advice for living, they do it with graceful language, they offer up images the mind can easily hold, and they have very little in them to distract the listener with ‘Wait, I didn’t get that bit.’ They lead one with silken inexorability to a conclusion. That’s not what I look for in a poem, but it’s perfect for a worship service.”<br />
Or, as others have said, Mary’s poems are prayers more than they are the high art that highbrow critics relish. And when making prayers, as Mary herself says,<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
“don’t try to make them elaborate. This isn’t a contest.”<br />
I don’t think I would attempt a sermon on Rilke. But Mary Oliver conveys, with simplicity and beauty, the sort of message that our shared Sunday morning experience, at its best, is all about.<br />
.<br />
Mary’s questions are religious questions: What is holy? Who are we? What are we called to do with our lives? What is death, and how do we understand it when we turn our faces toward its inevitability?<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”<br />
she asks in “The Summer Day.” In “Spring,” she answers:<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
“There is only one question: How to love this world.”<br />
In “In Blackwater Woods” the related answer is:<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
“To live in this world you must be able to do three things: To love what is mortal; To hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; And when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.”<br />
In “One or Two Things,” Mary’s god is the “god of dirt,” and god’s voice is the voice of dog and crow and frog. This is a god of here and now who “never once mentioned forever.”<br />
<br />
Her poems describe communion – a raw and earthy and sensual communion with nature that calls us back from detached lives increasingly spent indoors staring at screens. Screens. “Screen” is one of those words that means its own opposite. To “screen” a movie, for instance, means to present it to view. But “screen” also means to block from view. Prophet Mary speaks to us of the need to have unscreened experiences. Amidst our lives of fragmented multitasking, she speaks of unifying attention.<br />
<br />
In an essay in <i>Winter Hours</i>, Mary writes:<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
“Now I think there is only one subject worth my attention and that is the recognition of the spiritual side of the world and, within this recognition, the condition of my own spiritual state. I am not talking about having faith necessarily, although one hopes to. What I mean by spirituality is not theology, but attitude.” <br />
Paying attention is Mary’s form of prayer within the realm of this god of dirt from whom we come and for whom we live. “Just pay attention,” she says.<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
“Then patch a few words together and don’t try to make them elaborate. This isn’t a contest but the doorway into thanks, and a silence in which another voice may speak.”<br />
Every tree and blade of grass; every mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian, and fish; every insect and cephalopod; every rock and every breeze -- has a message for us. Praying means paying attention. In this Mary is echoing the Psalmist, for <a href="http://bible.oremus.org/?version=nrsv&passage=Psalm+19">Psalm 19</a> says:<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
“The heavens are telling the glory of god; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words. Their voice is not heard, yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.” (Ps 19: 1-4, NRSV)<br />
The place of connection and wholeness is in the silence, beyond words. “The turtle,” as Mary says,<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
“doesn’t have a word for any of it—the silky water or the enormous blue morning, or the curious affair of his own body.”<br />
And though we often miss – fail to notice -- the silent glory of this dirt-god’s realm, forgiveness consists in this:<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
“There is still time to let the last rose of the sunrise float down into my uplifted eyes.”<br />
There is still time.<br />
<br />
Mary says plainly,<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<br />
“My work is loving the world.”<br />
<br />
That is all our work. Our job is to love: ourselves, other people, other creatures, every moment of life in this dirt-god’s world. You do not have to be good, but you do have to take up this assignment of loving the world. In page after page, poem after poem, through her long career of writing in her 80 years of life, Mary Oliver models how to do the human job. May we join her in that work.<br />

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Today
there is a nor'easter bearing down on
where I live in New York. The wind will blow and the few leaves that still
cling to our trees and bushes I imagine will be slapped down by the back hand
of a winter storm. To stay safe, the
region's residents will take shelter for the next 24 hours, staying out of harm's
way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 4.5pt;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;"> I remember once when I was 15 by father
backhanded me, bloodying my nose, and I wonder how this and other assaults, perceived
and otherwise, cause me to hunker down still, withdrawing so as to keep
safe. Each of us has cause to blame human
kind for being wrong and inflicting so much pain upon one another and this
world. We have reason to despair. We
also have choice to invite in love and life's crazy and erratic possibilities.
Alas we cannot stay out of harm's way, but we put ourselves in beauty's way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 4.5pt;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">As
leaves uncurl in thanks to the sun's gift of light, we too can shift. There are no wrong seasons for life, love, joy,
and peace. Just when you thought the
world before you was painted with one heart killing color, a splash comes or a
drop, the canvass of your conceptions now ruined. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 4.5pt;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Why
do our minds seek unilateral thinking? I
am sure it is for some evolved survival reasons this judging we do when we call
one thing good and another bad. Our subconscious minds evolved so we can react
quickly to threats without. This survival orientation though paints over the
interdependent reality where beauty brushes up against the cruelest act. We imagine ourselves too busy avoiding tigers,
angry fathers, and murderous tribes to see the whole - no separation between this
one snow storm and leaves that die, and new ones to surprise and surpass us
all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

He was lying under a tree, licking up the shade, </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Hello again, Fox, I said. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"> And hello to you too, said Fox, looking up and not bounding away. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"> You're not running away? I said. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Well, I've heard of your conversation about us. News travels even among foxes, as you might know or not know. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"> What conversation do you mean? </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"> Some lady said to you, "The hunt is good for the fox." And you said, "Which fox?" </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"> Yes, I remember. She was huffed. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"> So you're okay in my book. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"> Your book! That was in my book, that's the difference between us. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"> Yes, I agree. You fuss over life with your clever words, mulling and chewing on its meaning, while we just live it. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"> Oh! </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><i>Could anyone figure it out, to a finality? So why spend so much time trying. You fuss, we live.
And he stood, slowly, for he was old now, and ambled away.</i> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When we fuss, is that not living as well? Unless in fussing, I suppose, we block life's potential? But doesn't fussing guide us into knowing life? I think of the squirrel in the back yard with her chatter squeals at the red-tailed hawk, and the parent wren's insistent call to their 4 nestlings to leave the shelter of the porch nest, and their whining response. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Go away! Get out! Come here! Feed me! Do something! Are we ever saying much else to one another?</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And what about a fox fussing at the hen house, trying to find a way in. I think he is writing in a book too -</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Whiskers full of cobwebs, paw scratches in the sand, blood drops on boards and feathers exploding out into the air. That's quite a story Mr. Fox.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The hunt is good for the fox!</span><br />

the earth dances it's daily rhythm and its yearly cycle around the sun. If that's not astonishing enough. I don't
know what is. Okay, maybe this - the human capacity to be loving and
loved. Now that is a force to be reckoned
with, along with the other great forces of the universe: centripetal, centrifugal, and gravity.
Without all these forces we would lose our center and our grounding. Without
them we would also lose the ability to fly off from the center to know
something other than our more intimate circles.

<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #00b050;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes I spend all day trying to count the leaves on a
single tree. To do this I have to climb branch by branch and write down the
numbers in a little book. So I suppose, from their point of view, it's reasonable
that my friends say: what foolishness! She's got her head in the clouds again.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<i><span style="color: #00b050;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">But it's not. Of
course I have to give up, but by then I'm half crazy with the wonder of it - the
abundance of the leaves, the quietness of the branches, the hopelessness of my
effort. And I am in that delicious an
important place, roaring with laughter, full of earth-praise.</span><o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

As I lay slumbering in bed, I peek out of the covers to see
how the sun attempts to come through the countless leaves of the trees. But perhaps you like me project - the sun is
shining whether there are leaves to block the light just as you are shining
whether you come out from the covers at a decent hour.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

There are countless ways to be useless,<a href="http://meredithpoetry.blogspot.com/2013/03/beautiful-useless_31.html"> beautiful useless</a>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
How about counting the ants?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hugging every tree in the yard or park?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Reciting poetry to a tortoise?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Saving the parrots or some other endangered species?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
May you do something foolish today as a prayer for praise -
for yourself and the many others, which are really just you come out of your
skin into exoskelton, bark, shell, and feather.</div>

How have you been a fool full of earth praise today?<br />

Our thinking is as the sap rising in the tree and a dog drooling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe if I had the gift of genius of words that Mary had, I too would feel a separation from life around me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For how can words capture the kiss of the morning sun upon one’s face and the caress of the wind or a feathered wing?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I suppose they can’t, but they do remind us where the path is.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So I thank you Mary for this time together, for keeping me on the path to see beauty, tragedy, interconnection - reality - in all moments.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In April/May 2010 I was working in Guatemala and Honduras. This was the time when I was finishing up Mary's "New and Selected Poems" (going from the oldest poems in the back to the newest ones in the front of the book). Being in Central America I did not have reliable access to the internet, so I twittered brief words from each of Mary's poems, and then a brief reflection on my part. If you were not following me on Twitter, you would have missed this part. I was immersed in avian conservation, so to get the context of my experiences during that time, go to the blog: www.liberatingwings.typepad.com.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a few days I will be traveling around Central America with marginal capacity to connect to the internet. My hope is to use a mobile phone to tweet into this blog to keep in touch as I continue to read daily one Mary Oliver poem and reflect upon it. I will only be taking one book with me as I dive into La Moskitia area in Honduras, and it will be Mary's poems. If the reception is there, check into this blog and look down to the right and below to see the text messages that come through from twitter. I tried to do this today as an example for the poem - Lilies. I don't actually leave the country until Monday, so let me know if you have any feedback on how this works for you on the comment section below.</span><span style="color: #555555; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

</i></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">This morning I took a hike with our ectourist group in Guyana up to some caves with bats. Along the way we walked through a forest teaming with thousands of species biting, singing, crawling, hooting, growing, and photosynthesizing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love the tropical forest and after days and days in one, I begin to know I belong, as do all beings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, I am guessing that for you, like me, there are certain special places in your life that more clearly and strongly say, “You belong.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For me it is swimming in natural body of water.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">After this hike I mentioned I jumped off a bank of a forest river into clear cool water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With fish swimming all around me, I circled round to see a Pygmy Kingfisher perched on a branch and below him, my species washing their clothes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Clothes, fur, feathers<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>no matter how roughly or finely we are clad, we are the skin of the earth emerging from the mixing of mud with water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Yesterday I visited Kaieteur Falls in central Guyana. Here is the tallest single drop falls in the world. While there we saw a pair of Red and Green Macaws circle through the rising mist of the falls, their calls echoing down the canyons and down deep in our souls. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">At the head of the falls are immense cliffs, to which we were invited to crawl onto our stomachs and peer over. In between dizzy spells, I watched the White-collared Swifts approach the falls and then in twos and threes dive straight down the vertical wall of water, twittering amongst themselves as they left us behind on the cliffs. I would not be exaggerating to say that we experienced an impulse to follow them, and perhaps we did. Somehow watching them and the macaws it was as if we ourselves were flying as they, the rainbow rulers and aerobatic champions of the falls. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
