Softest of Mornings

by Mary Oliver

Softest of mornings, hello. And what will you do today, I wonder, to my heart? And how much honey can the heart stand, I wonder, before it must break? This is trivial, or nothing: a snail climbing a trellis of leaves and the blue trumpets of flowers. No doubt clocks are ticking loudly all over the world. I don’t hear them. The snail’s pale horns extend and wave this way and that as her fingers-body shuffles forward, leaving behind the silvery path of her slime. Oh, softest of mornings, how shall I break this? How shall I move away from the snail, and the flowers? How shall I go on, with my introspective and ambitious life?

"Use those talents you have. You will make it. You will give joy to the world. Take this tip from nature: The woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except those who sang best."

I've read the Southern Reach trilogy (and seen the movie that fell woefully short of the books' eerie atmosphere), so I'm excited that there's another book in this series coming out. It's one of those that left me with vivid images - truly otherworldly and spooky.

My favorite part? Annihilation came to him in a dream. Some of my favorite books started as dreams.

Let's take a break from the space bars with a fantasy-themed Space Crowd Saturday: Leo and Diane Dillon's 1993 cover for The Sorcerer's Apprentice, by Nancy Willard. Delightful critters here.

April

by Mary Oliver

I wanted to speak at length about the happiness of my body and the delight of my mind for it was April, a night, a full moon and --

but something in myself or maybe from somewhere other said: not too many words, please, in the muddy shallows the

Frogs are singing.

St Vincent's All Born Screaming LP - Clementine edition 4/26/24 (x)

On almost the opposite end of the spectrum, I've been enjoying Ariana Grande's eternal sunshine. It's her most personal, and she's got writing credits on every song, which slightly coincides with Annie Clark producing her latest album entirely on her own. Can't wait to hear it - I'm 110% onboard for musical artists making their own creative choices.
