but joy comes in the morning

Somewhere in the world, there is a tree that sprouted the same day you were born and has been growing along with you.

#I wish it sufficient rain and gentle sun and deep roots #and all the joys of a hundred thousand leaves dancing in the breeze (via @curiosity-killed)

every morning i wake up & get my coffee & i recite in my head this excerpt from ‘invitation,’ by mary oliver:  “it is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in the broken world.” & i just say it over & over again until it sticks to my mind for the rest of the day. it is a serious thing. i am alive. i am so lucky. this fresh morning i get the chance to live again & again & again
