I have decided to live abroad, where languages flow
and one learns to do with less, waking in the morning
to wander a country lane, stopping to greet the
flora and fauna. Revelation resides in the hills
just waiting for me to slow down long enough
to open my heart, soak in the wisdom.
Of course for now, I want to stay put
savor life where I am, appreciate the small moments.

What a beautiful slice. This line is one I will remember for myself, “Revelation resides in the hills just waiting for me to slow down long enough to open my heart, soak in the wisdom.”

I’m following you, sister! I absolutely love this Mary Oliver inspired poem. Identified most with this phrase, “and one learns to do with less,”
