  • Mary Oliver, a Pulitzer Prize winner, writes fluent imagery weaving together the worlds of humans, animals, and plants. Wild Geese is a favorite.

    RIP Mary Oliver, I've read this over and over out loud, but seeing and hearing her own embodied voice is very powerful and poignant for me today.

    Thank you, Mary. This poem just showed up in my life yesterday, beckoned by my soft animal part yearning to b set free, my courageous survivor warrior child wanting me to heal so she can play again. Its safe now and i have permission to just love what i love. What a gift what a gift. Thank u, i love u.

    Thank you RestlessWind for sharing some thoughts, and feelings.
    I occasionally re-look at this video and can agree with you
    that Mary is a secret inner voice of mine rarely shared with others.
    I'm glad she had the courage, and the insight to explore areas
    that shamefully evade me at times

    Thank you, Jean Shinoda Bolen, for introducing me to Mary Oliver's work years ago at the Sophia Institute in Charleston when you said that Mary Oliver, the poet, asks: "Tell me what will you do with your one wild and precious life?" And, of course, thank you Mary Oliver. Your spirit is alive.

    A beautiful and moving rendition of Mary Oliver's poem. Treasureleaf you have done another wonderful job. I always look forward to enjoying your work. As a technical writer I often leave the tech world and take a break by viewing one of your works. They relax me and cleanse my overworked brain. Thanks

    @mypaldak5 Thank you for your note about Mary, and her work.
    I am keeping you in my thoughts as you progress through the
    effects of your operation. I know the feelings associated with
    recoveries and there are days it's nice to know that even a
    stranger keeps you in his daily thoughts. Recover quickly!

    interesting, experiencing background sounds as intrusive ... until the last lines with background guitar, confirming the words.
