On Creativity and Mary Oliver's "Wild Geese"
Monday, 2 June, 2025
Intimate musings on creativity, the self-enjoying nature of time, and the richness of reality beyond a plot-line. Then, a poetry reading of Mary Oliver's "Wild Geese." "And when we allow ourselves to be consumed by time, by light, by darkness, by the persistent force of our own aching lives, we stop suffering because we stop thinking that we are somehow separate from the pain and separate from the joy and separate from the love that we are seeking. When you become the goodness...there is nothing more to do, and so everything is simply done—done in you and through you. Trying to be good is denying your true nature; and the more you deny it, the more difficult it is to embrace the goodness you already are."You can find the full poem and a convenient place to suggest future poems and comment here.
