Trying to Be Thoughtful in the First Brights of Dawn - Mary Oliver

[Larry Robinson]

Trying to Be Thoughtful in the First Brights of Dawn
 
I am thinking, or trying to think, about all the
imponderables for which we have
no answers, yet endless interest all the
range of our lives, and it's
 
good for the head no doubt to undertake such
meditation; Mystery, after all,
is God's other name, and deserves our
 
consideration surely.  But, but -
excuse me now, please; it's morning, heavenly bright,
and my irrepressible heart begs me to hurry on
into the next exquisite moment.
