Tomorrow's Darling

“Still, what I want in my life
 is to be willing to be dazzled
 – to cast aside the weight of facts
 and maybe even
 to float a little
 above this difficult world.
I want to believe I am looking
 into the white fire of a great mystery.
I want to believe that the imperfections are nothing –
that the light is everything — that it is more than the sum
of each flawed blossom rising and fading. And I do.” Mary Oliver, “The Ponds” (House of Light)
