“You don’t want to hear the story
of my life, and anyway
I don’t want to tell it, I want to listen to the enormous waterfalls of the sun. And anyway it’s the same old story—
a few people just trying,
one way or another,
to survive. Mostly, I want to be kind.”

— Mary Oliver, from New and Selected Poems
