Many things to do
Mary Oliver writes in What Do We Know pp 44-45 that there are so many things to do in this beautiful world, so many things to be done. I am reading that as two diverging ways we approach the world. Mostly we have to do lists. But beauty is the really real. Experiencing what the world has to give, receiving without taking: this is what we should choose as why we are here. We work the grinding wheel so that we can ride the Ferris wheel. A little work, a lot of thankful receiving.
