There are moments that cry out to be fulfilled. Like, telling someone you love them. Or giving your money away, all of it. Your heart is beating, isn’t it? You’re not in chains, are you? There is nothing more pathetic than caution when headlong might save a life, even, possibly, your own.

Mary Oliver, from “Moments.” [ID in alt text]

#sooo many good oliver poems but this one is the vibe this year #when headlong might save a life even possibly your own!

u gotta be hedonistic about vegetables. they're not good boy food that u eat to prove you're mature, they're the food that you can shovel into your mouth at 5 am without getting nauseous

The painting "The Milkmaid" by Johannes Vermeer, depicting a maid pouring milk from a jug into a bowl in the kitchen. She's a sturdily built young woman wearing a white linen cap, a modest yellow dress with sleeves rolled up and a blue apron tied around her middle. The bowl into which she's pouring the milk stands on a table covered in a green tablecloth, surrounded various pieces of bread. She is lit by light from a window on the left.

A poem titled "Vermeer". So long as that woman from the Rijksmuseum in painted quiet and concentration keeps pouring milk day after day from the pitcher to the bowl the World hasn’t earned the world’s end.
