Life is short. It's amazin' but inner strength has showed me that I can push bitterness and anger to the sidelines. I prefer the, "peaceful flowers of the hillsides." A Bitterness I believe you did not have a happy life. I believe you were cheated. I believe your best friends were loneliness and misery. I believe your busiest enemies were anger and depression. I believe joy was a game you could never play without stumbling. I believe comfort, though you craved it, was forever a stranger. I believe music had to be melancholy or not at all. I believe no trinket, no precious metal, shone so bright as …your bitterness. I believe you lay down at last in your coffin none the wiser and …unassuaged. Oh, cold and dreamless under the wild, amoral, reckless, peaceful …flowers of the hillsides. by Pulitzer-Prize winner Mary Oliver
