"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life"- poet Mary Oliver
How many of us would classify our lives as wild? Probably even less of us are aware how precious life is truly.
For me the second part is easy. I believe it deeply. I realize that each day a gift that I was given that at the end of the day gets thrown away. I have 20000 presents left to enjoy.
The first part of the quote caused me to pause. My life is anything but wild. I live a pretty simple life. Most people would even classify it as somewhat boring.
Maybe I am missing many things by the way I live? Maybe I need to introduce a bit of the wild in my day to day to feel the effect of it.
Today's question is:
"Do you see your life as wild and precious?"
