By Mary Oliver
I enjoy reading Mary Oliver’s poems, she has written hundreds of them. They offer hope when the world appears dark. They help me pause and start my day in a positive place. This one called I Worried reminds me that ‘stuff happens’ that I have no control over. One of the questions my husband and I started asking ourselves when our children were very young to help put things in perspective: “Is this a dance or a wrestle?” Almost always we found that the situation warranted a dance. So, I say: DANCE ON!
