Wild Geese

MARY OLIVER’S “WILD GEESE” 

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 your 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.

 

Analysis  — Maddy Levy

I watch the flocks here and know that if one wild goose gets sick, another stays with them until they heal and then they both go rejoin and continue the migration... we need to be more like the wild geese... BOOM!

can you fly?

David Almond: how to let your imagination fly 

BOOM Dears, 

I think we (you and me) should write a short hand-written memory book for a child we know. 
Secrets, magical things, miracles, mistakes we made, better ideas, anything you want and we collect that in a small notebook... 
(then bequeath it and seal it in an envelope with their name) 

Yes, both herb and I are doing this...BOOMLOVE

what we all want

this is not a dream, this is real... and we really deserve it

not just sunday but every day

Dear friends, Today, we are not ok. Our friends are not ok. Our children are not ok. Our country is not ok. Over our short history, but specifically over the past year, Recess has negotiated a pressing question: how do we identify the needs of our community and address them with care? Care is different than service. Care implies a proximity—a physical closeness—and an ethos. We have asked this question together with our artists and thinkers in the context of overwhelming pain and trauma. We will continue to collectively ask and respond as best we can. Today, Recess will offer a space of care, food, drink, and rest. Bring loved ones, children, family, friends. We will be open from 12-6pm. Please come slow down with us, step back. We need each other. With love and care, Allison & Recess
