Sunshine Rapture

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.
(from "Wild Geese", by Mary Oliver)

I'm trying to think, have I EVER been quite that happy? That "in the moment," and that carefree. This is SO why I want to be a golden in my next life.
