I go down to the shore in the morning
and depending on the hour the waves
are rolling in or moving out,
and I say, oh, I am miserable,
what shall—
what should I do? And the sea says
in its lovely voice:
Excuse me, I have work to do.
~Mary Oliver
Nature operates on its own essential cycle.
Nature is steadfast and reliable and lovely.
Nature holds our answers.
We are part of nature.
And nature is part of us.
