Mary Oliver - Sunrise

Mary Oliver - Sunrise

You can br die for it- br an idea, br or the world. People br have done so, br brilliantly, br letting br their small bodies be bound br to the stake, br creating br an unforgettable br fury of light. But br this morning, br climbing the familiar hills br in the familiar br fabric of dawn, I thought br of China, br and India br and Europe, and I thought br how the sun br blazes br for everyone just br so joyfully br as it rises br under the lashes br of my own eyes, and I thought br I am so many! br What is my name? br What is the name br of the deep breath I would take br over and over br for all of us? Call it br whatever you want, it is br happiness, it is another one br of the ways to enter br fire.
