" 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.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
call to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.”
― Mary Oliver

WHAT IN THE WORLD?
On today in American history, people in gardens everywhere were talking about:
1846 A scientist discovers Neptune
1862 Leo Tolstoy marries
1863 Lincoln plans to send troops to Chattanooga
1875 Billy The Kid gets arrested for the first time
1943 WORLD WAR II Mussolini re-establishes a fascist regime in northern Italy
1944 On this day in 1944, during a campaign dinner with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union, President Franklin D. Roosevelt makes a reference to his small dog, Fala, who had recently been the subject of a Republican political attack. The offense prompted Roosevelt to defend his dog's honor and his own reputation.
