Don't Hesitate (poem by Mary Oliver) If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don't hesitate Give in to it There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be We are not wise, and not very often kind And much can never be redeemed Still, life has some possibility left in it Perhaps this is the way of fighting back, that sometimes, something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins Anyway, that's often the case Anyway, whatever it is, don't be afraid of it's plenty Joy is not made to be a crumb.
