“I
am scorched
to
realize once again
how
many small, available things
are
in this world
that
aren’t pieces of gold
or
power."— Mary Oliver, “Summer Story,” in Red Bird (2009)
I
took the picture accompanying this post at Harbourtown in Hilton Head, S.C.
(Thanks to my friend Gretel DeRuiter for bringing
the poet Mary Oliver to my attention.)
Oh, Michael! Thank you so much for making sure I didn't miss this post of yours -- and for reminding me how restorative Oliver's voice can be for me in these healing days ahead.
