A Voice From I Don't Know Where - Mary Oliver

It seems you love this world very much.
    “Yes, I said. “This beautiful world.”

And you don’t mind the mind, that keeps you
    busy all the time with its dark and bright wondering?
    “No, I’m quite used to it. Busy, busy,
    all the time.”

And you don’t mind living with those questions,
    I mean the hard ones, that no one can answer?
    “Actually, they’re the most interesting.”

And you have a person in your life whose hand
    you like to hold?
    “Yes, I do.”

It must surely, then, be very happy down there
    in your heart.
    “Yes,” I said. “It is.”

(Felicity, 2016)
