Everyone should be born into this world happy and loving everything.
But in truth, it rarely works that way.
For myself, I have spent my life clambering toward it.
Hallelujah, anyway I'm not where I started!
And have you too been trudging like that,
sometimes almost forgetting how wondrous the world is
and how miraculously kind some people can be?

(Mary Oliver, 1935 - 2019)
