“What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” ~ Mary Oliver

When do we ask ourselves this question?

When we read about the untimely death of Marina Keegan (“Still Time”)?

or when a baby like Josie is so purely innocent, just starting out (“home again“)?

A glimpse of mine can be found in my kitchen at any one moment.
