Quote of the week: Week of June 29, 2020

Posted on June 29, 2020 by wordswithcowbell

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.

—Opening lines of Mary Oliver’s Wild Geese

Because of the dog’s joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born.—Mary Oliver
