 WRITE I'm writing a note now.  I'm not writing a shopping list at the moment. I always write something in my free time. I write a letter to Santa once a year. I don't write letters to friends. She sometimes writes to her grandfather. She doesn't write to her cousin. I've never written a novel. I've written quite a good poem lately. I've just written your name on the snow. Look! He's already written a test. He hasn't written a short story yet. I've been writing a formal letter since the morning. I've written ten words so far. I wrote a blog entry a month ago. I didn't write a message to my boyfriend last week. I was writing postcards all day yesterday. I wasn't writing my essay yesterday at 5 o'clock.

Read the poem by Mary Oliver Wild Geese You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees  for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.                          Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on.
