« Magical Realism in Art | Main | Happy New Year from the Endicott Studio »
As we close the door on another year, and cross over the threshold towards a new one, my New Year's resolution is to live life more mindfully. Mary Oliver shows us how.
Oliver is the Pulitzer Prize winning author of American Primitive, Twelve Moons, Dream Work, House of Light, and other gorgeous collections of poetry and prose. "Mindful" comes from her 2005 collection, Why I Wake Early. The painting above is "Pennsylvania Landscape" by Andrew Wyeth.

Love the Oliver poem... "kills me with delight"... like the paper bag floating scene in "American Beauty"...
You three have got such a great blog! What a beaded box of treasure! You might be interested in a story I wrote based on Snow White but in modern-day Paris... www.unknownmagic.blogspot.com
I'm so excited to have just discovered endicott... something to sugar my days with in '08. Cheers!
