πͺΏ Wild Geese ~ Not so Smutty Snippet
Added 2020-12-20 14:01:00 +0000 UTCYou 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.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

2020-12-21 22:38:41 +0000 UTCthis is really calming and speaks to me in a special, intimate way, especially the last 50 seconds, which I listened to again and again, trying to interpret your words. I feel like I belong with mother nature, I'm not an outcast, that whatever the society does, mother nature always have the final say, and that's a comforting and calming thought for me.
