Quote of the week: Week of June 29, 2020

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

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

—from The Road Not Taken, by Robert Frost
