Mary Oliver is one of my favourite poets. There is something deeply spiritual about her poetry that finds its way into my heart.
I was not familiar with this poem. Poetry allows us to imagine that we have wings. With those wings. we tap our experiences more fully as we fly with others who join us. When we share the journey with others, it becomes much richer. It is not only our journey.

About ivonprefontaine
I completed a PhD at Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA. Previously, I taught for 20 years and taught for 15 years in a wonderful hybrid school. My dissertation topic and research were how certain teachers experience becoming who teachers. In teaching and leanring, I am a boundary-crosser who understands moving ahead is a leap of faith.
Teaching is a calling and vocation to express who I am as a person. Currently, I am waiting and listening to what calls me next. I am an educator, phenomenologist, scholar, boundary-crosser, published poet, author, parent, grandparent, and spouse.

I don’t know if it my computer or what (it often is) but there is no poem here! I will look it up.
It’s at the top of the post under Source and also here: http://drbillwooten.com/2016/02/23/spring-3/
Beautiful poem Ivon. Thanks.
Thank you David. I hope Emilie was able to find and read.
I’ve not heard this particular MO poem before either. She’s remarkable, isn’t she?
She is. I had not read this one either. She has a remarkable and deep book of poetry.
Mary Oliver is fast becoming a favourite for me too! Just thought…you might be interested to hear this interview with her I found on SoundCloud a few months ago? I found it very interesting, learned a lot about her! https://soundcloud.com/onbeing/sets/mary-oliver-listening-to-the-world
Thank you Suzy. I will listen to her.
