013 - In the Desert by Stephen Crane
Screenshot of text: In the Desert by Stephen Crane In the desert I saw a creature, naked, bestial, Who, squatting upon the ground, Held his heart in his hands, And ate of it. I said, ‘Is it good, friend?’ ’It is bitter — bitter,’ he answered; ’But I like it Because it is bitter, And because it is my heart.’

012 - The Summer Day by Mary Oliver
Screenshot of text: The Summer day by Mary Oliver Who made the world? Who made the swan, and the black bear? Who made the grasshopper? This grasshopper, I mean— the one who has flung herself out of the grass, the one who is eating sugar out of my hand, who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down— who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes. Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face. Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away. I don’t know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

011 - The Patience of Ordinary Things by Pat Schneider
Screenshot of text: The Patience of Ordinary Things by Pat Schneider It is a kind of love, is it not? How the cup holds the tea, How the chair stands sturdy and foursquare, How the floor receives the bottoms of shoes Or toes. How soles of feet know Where they’re supposed to be. I’ve been thinking about the patience Of ordinary things, how clothes Wait respectfully in closets And soap dries quietly in the dish, And towels drink the wet From the skin of the back. And the lovely repetition of stairs. And what is more generous than a window?

010 - Summer Kitchen by Donald Hall
Screenshot of text: Summer Kitchen by Donald Hall In June’s high light she stood at the sink With a glass of wine, And listened for the bobolink, And crushed garlic in late sunshine. I watched her cooking, from my chair, She pressed her lips Together, reached for kitchenware, And tasted sauce from her fingertips. “It’s ready now. Come on”, she said. “You light the candle.” We ate, and talked, and went to bed, And slept. It was a miracle.

006 - Do not ask your children to strive by William Martin
Screenshot of text: Do not ask your children to strive by William Martin Do not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives. Such striving may seem admirable, but it is the way of foolishness. Help them instead find the wonder and the marvel of an ordinary life. Show them the joy of tasting tomatoes, apples and pears. Show them how to cry when pets and people die. Show them the infinite pleasure in the touch of a hand. And make the ordinary come alive for them. The extraordinary will take care of itself.

005 - What I Mean When I Say I'm Tired by K.E. Sermonté
Screenshot of text: What I Mean When I Say I'm Tired by K.E. Sermonté I don’t mean I want sleep. I mean I want to disappear for a while. To be rain on a stranger’s roof. To be smoke rising from someone else’s fire. I don’t want to die. But I do want to rest in a way the world has never allowed me. I don’t want comfort. I want quiet. I want the mercy of being unseen without being unloved.

004 - I Worried by Mary Oliver
Screenshot of text: I Worried by Mary Oliver I worried a lot. Will the garden grow, will the rivers flow in the right direction, will the earth turn as it was taught, and if not how shall I correct it? Was I right, was I wrong, will I be forgiven, can I do better? Will I ever be able to sing, even the sparrows can do it and I am, well, hopeless. Is my eyesight fading or am I just imagining it, am I going to get rheumatism, lockjaw, dementia? Finally I saw that worrying had come to nothing. And gave it up. And took my old body and went out into the morning, and sang.

002 - If I Can Stop One Heart from Breaking by Emily Dickinson
Screenshot of text: If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking by Emily Dickinson If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain.

001 - Wild Geese by Mary Oliver

(my all-time favorite. it brings me so much comfort and very easily makes me cry)
A text image: Wild Geese by Mary Oliver 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. 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.
