Pink minimalism

The heat-hammer is back in Okieland and the Moon on this Moon-day is waxing toward full next week . . .

A successful poem is one that makes you want to become friends with the poet.

What misery to be afraid of death / What wretchedness, / to believe only in what can be proven. – Mary Oliver, from “I Looked Up” in White Pine, 1994.

Suppose you only had two weeks to become a minimalist—how would you proceed? We can imagine that most people would start by frantically going through their closets and getting rid of the items that they no longer use or need. Nothing wrong with that, but the Spiritual Minimalist would take a different approach – Light Watkins

While philosophers tend toward universals and poets love particulars, mystics and contemplative practice teach us how to encompass both. – Richard Rohr
