I woke up extremely early this morning, when I fell out of a dream. It was my great fortune to run across your journal and Mary Oliver’s poem. It seems to me that her poems are clear mirrors for us to see the wonder and beauty of living. For that, I thank her and thank you for posting it.

Thanks for the comments, ladies. Glad you enjoyed the poem. I actually heard it for the first time in a yoga class and I caught my breath in the middle of my down-dog. I find it really powerful. You're right, Denise. Intense, yet necessary.

Jean selected a wonderful book and you chose a beautiful poem to share with us.

That last question in the poem…intense, yet necessary–good.
