Excerpt from Mary Oliver's 'Invitation'

"Oh do you have time
        to linger
                for just a little while
                       out of your busy
and very important day... 
...It could mean something.
It could mean everything.
It could be what Rilke meant, when he wrote:
You must change your life."
