Thank you for this inspiration to just go ahead and write! I also love how she uses the word "patch" for just writing whatever comes out! So many layers to it.

Thank you Kelly, for your beautiful reflection on Mary Oliver's poem and for teaching me what ‘ars poetica’ means. You remind me to take small, mindful actions and patch words together, in order to create moments of gratitude and connection. As all my poetry books sleep and dream in my bedroom, tonight, in honour of your words, I'll be searching for more of Mary’s beauty and wisdom.
