How inappropriate to call this planet Earth when it is quite clearly Ocean.

- Arthur C. Clarke

apoetreflects:

Still, what I want in my life
is to be willing
to be dazzled—
to cast aside the weight of facts

and maybe even 
to float a little
above this difficult world.
I want to believe I am looking

into the white fire of a great mystery.
I want to believe that the imperfections are nothing—
that the light is everything—that it is more than the sum
of each flawed blossom rising and fading. And I do.

—Mary Oliver, from “The Ponds” in House of Light (Beacon Press, 1990)
