一尘一世界

 Mary Oliver 的诗

充满了对自然万物的热爱。小到一石一草大到无际的海洋，都在她的笔下涌动着生命的奇迹。

她的诗朴素、带着泥土的芬芳。她拒绝虚伪的复杂，赞叹万物生灵的质朴与真诚。

在Wild Geese中她写道：

You do not have to be good.

You do not have to walk on your knees

for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.

You only have to let the soft animal of your body

love what it loves.

...

Meanwhile the world goes on.

...

Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,

are heading home again.

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,

the world offers itself to you imagination,

calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -

over and over announcing your place

in the family of things.

另一首中她向树的宽容和治愈致敬：

Around me the trees stir in their leaves

and call out, "Stay awhile".

The light flows from their branches.

And they call again, "It's simple," they say,

"and you too have come

into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled

with light, and to shine."
