Ideas, Doubts, and Hesitations

There’s a line from a Mary Oliver poem I resonate with:

I sit here in a house filled with books,

ideas, doubts, hesitations.

Whenever I read this, I think, “How does she know?!?!”

I indeed live in a house filled with books. And my ideas, doubts, and hesitations are ever-present.
