Tell me, what is it you plan to do
With your one wild and precious life?

Live amid the uncertainty . . . and embrace each moment . . . as the path unfolds before me. 😎
Excellent life plan.
Take life one breath at a time, each time – don’t skip any – and be fully aware that you’re breathing as the most precious gift. Once you have accomplished that much, every second will count, every second will feel right, meaningful and purposeful.
Another great life plan, George – nice suggestions, thanks.
“What am I gonna wear for lunch tomorrow?”
Forward planning!
:blush: Mr. Green took over – the (excellent!) photo, your question, 99%, and approaching 7 billion, millions of whom don’t know what they are going to EAT for lunch tomorrow…
Mary Oliver, once again speaks my heart. I think I went to that store, and thought I was meant to live that life. . Blessedly I was wrong, about that and so many other things. Glad you found me now, I know where you are. I ,too, like the idea of the butterfly effects for change. Just finding my way around this amazing world of blogging. Look forward to walking with you
It’s hard to know what to do with your life, isn’t it? I love Mary Oliver – and this photograph – thanks for the comment – look forward to the journey too!
Remember that every day is one the Lord has given me and I will rejoice…
How lovely.
Funny, I just wrote a post about the big questions we ask ourselves… I plan to live with grace and gratitude!
Mary Oliver is a great poet I think – I love this poem.
