I'm picky about poems and many of these didn't do it for me. But a lot of them did.
"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."
Wild Geese - Mary Oliver
