"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." ~Mary Oliver (American Poet)
Yes, Mary Oliver! I was thinking just that last night with 3 cats in the bed. I met her last year. Thanks for another great photo of more gifts from the sea.
I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use - silence, exile, and cunning.

Those mussels look like a flock of soft blue butterflies gathered on a tree trunk.
thank you ladies!
I love Mary Oliver. And that pic is amazing...robin said it right.
You have such an artistic eye! Like blue butterflies until you look closer and then see the gifts from the ocean :)
Hey, Mary Oliver is from Provincetown :D
