with life, as it is

So many glimpses of heaven are in front of us each day, but we do not notice.

What do I know?
But this: it is heaven itself to take what is given,
to see what is plain; what the sun lights up willingly;

for example – I think this
as I reach down, not to pick but merely to touch —
the suitability of the field for the daisies, and the
daisies for the field.

Mary Oliver, Daisies
