Devotions (Mary Oliver)

Her poetry is my favorite to read while I drink my coffee. The documentary out now on her is also worth a watch. I’ve been reading selected poems to my daughter. The line “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 what it love,” is tattooed on my brain.
