I saw this wonderful video about a 77-year-old kitesurfer this morning, and it somehow reminded me of “The Summer Day”, the Mary Oliver poem that delicately lands on a simple but powerful question:
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
If you haven’t heard the poem before (artist reading below), give it a listen. I usually make notes about other languages here, but both of these videos are solid reminders of the poetry of life and the beauty of the English language– I shouldn’t take it for granted!
