Instructions for Living - Deck
$19.99
“Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.”
Beloved poet Mary Oliver touched millions with tender, accessible verses that braid close observation of nature with everyday wonder. This deck of 50 inspirational quote cards gathers luminous lines from across her work—bite-size reflections you can return to again and again.
Draw a card each morning for a moment of focus, tuck one into a journal, or display your daily selection on the included stand. From simple nudges (“as long as you are dancing, you can break the rules”) to meditations that invite you outdoors, these cards make it easy to bring Oliver’s awe and attention into ordinary days.
