Poem referenced is Wild Geese, by Mary Oliver. Here's the spoken bit:
"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..."
(1986) #poetry #womanpoet #maryoliver

I published this poetry book a couple of years ago. Soon after publication, I became ill for over a year. I never marketed it. I wanted to share a couple of poems with you. The book is available on Amazon. www.amazon.com/Star-Ride-Po...
