Meanwhile...
When the world feels small, when we long for connection, when our minds are troubled...
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting --
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things."Wild Geese" by Mary Oliver

museum quality reproductions
superior clarity and color
All shop prints are “giclees," which is just a schmancy title for top-quality fine art digital ink jet prints. The giclee process results in superior clarity and color, thanks to the thousands of tiny nozzles that spray fine overlapping layers of colorfast pigmented ink.
