When I am among the trees

They give off such hints of gladness. I would almost say that they save me, and daily…never hurry through the world, but walk slowly, and bow often. Around me the trees stir in their leaves and call out, “Stay awhile.”

The light flows from their branches. And they call again and say, “It’s simple, you too have come into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled with light and to shine.”

-Mary Oliver
