"Let me
keep my mind on what matters,
which is my work,
which is mostly standing still and learning to be
astonished."

Keeping Your Mind On What Matters
This morning on our NPR station, Garrison Keilor read a Mary Oliver poem that sounded like it belongs in her ethical will (and my everyday life!). I especially love the lines:
"Let me
keep my mind on what matters,
which is my work,
which is mostly standing still and learning to be
astonished."
