"I go down to the shore in the morning and depending on the hour the waves are rolling in..." - Mary Oliver

🌙 Solitude

“I go down to the shore in the morning and depending on the hour the waves are rolling in or moving out and I say oh I am miserable what shall I do and the sea says in its lovely voice excuse me I have work to do”

— Mary Oliver

Natures indifference in solitude reminds us to simply do our work.
