"I have heard this music before, saith the body."
by Mary OliverYes, I have heard it before,
the sounds of the sea
the call of the whale.
Each time my heart sings
and I am delighted.
It is my hearts music.
Many things bring great delight to me: tea, gardens, flowers, outdoors, food, and friends that cross my path. These all make my heart sing with small chuckles, giggles, laughter, and tears. It is my desire to seek beauty all around me, have the heart of a wanderer, a storyteller.

How beautiful Marilyn, being surrounded by the Great Lakes, the sound has always been so soothing. I can't wait to be able to walk the beach again and listen.
My heart sings this song, too!

Lovely!
Oh I love the sound of the ocean! Soooooo beautiful.
I love the way Mary Oliver writes things that speak for so many of us.
What a great photo. How wonderful to live close to the coast.
I think we all have a sound that delights us. For me it would be the chirpping of the birds early in the morning reminding me that it is indeed a new day. I will be visiting the ocean soon and will be listening for that song.
Love, Love, Love the daffodils. Are they blooming already in your yard?

Yes, indeed. That's how I feel when we go to South Carolina -- I could listen to the ocean forever.
How exquisite is everything you share
Love you

I am headed to the beach next week, so this photo is definitely singing to me!
In reading your last few posts, I just had to stop at this one. Is that a whale I see here? Did you hear it? It's amazingly close to the coast, or is that an island? Please, I want to know more!
Love the poem too!
