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 what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -- over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

oh so people have been making their nails look like pretty and polished stones, why am I only finding this out now!!!

It’s weird to look back at the phone logs and realize this person you used to talk to for hours on end is now a stranger

mood for the past two weeks

Dear diary,

I saw my first uncircumcised penis today

I found an old friends tumblr in the bowels of my saved pages and it put me in a mood.

Here’s the last thing I texted her. She never responded..

Hey just wanted to let you know I really miss our friendship

It’s been well over a year since we’ve spoken

I cared so much for you. I came to your orchestra concert when no one else did. I sat on the floor with you while you threw up from being so drunk, made sure you got home safe from nights out countless times and always put a cup of water next to your bed.

I still think of you whenever I find a restaurant or bakery that has extensive gluten free options.

I understood what it was like to have a sick parent. I was devastated when I saw your dad had passed and I hurt so much for you and your family. I wanted to reach out to you so bad then.

I think what stings the most is what you said to me when we finally met for dinner at Boston burger: that you didn’t need me. You had other friends to pick up where you dropped me.

Or maybe it was the fact that there was no real explosive fight; just you pulling away. And the more I tried to intervene and salvage the remnants of our relationship, the further you distanced yourself.

Even though you weren’t talking to me I still got you gifts from my trip around the UK. I assumed whatever was happening between us would pass. Eventually I got tired of looking at the trinkets I got you, or maybe they made me sad. I went out of my way to find a way to get them to you in time for your birthday and still I heard nothing.

I don’t know where we went wrong. You’ve moved on. I only wish you would have thought of me.

HOW THE MOKIN CHILDREN ARE ABLE TO SEE WITH AMAZING CLARITY UNDERWATER

The Mokin are a group in Thailand that are nomadic and have a sea-based culture.

In the sea there is less light, so usually one’s iris will dilate. But the Mokin have an adaption where instead of dilating, they constrict as much as possible.

This allows them to see with much better clarity. Recent studies suggest that any child can quickly learn this trick. It exemplifies how well our brain adapts to our environment.
