Just getting to read this one today, Julie... so very good. I am hoping to join you in writing today but if not, please don't give up on me... I will be back. Miss it !

Hope you are well, and thanks again for bringing Mary Oliver back in. I just sat recently at a pond with my parents, quiet, simply watching ducks and birds move around,... this resonated...

That sounds lovely Betsy! I’ll be glad to write with you whenever you can make it.

Hmmmm I love this. I feel like there’s a passage in the OT where someone is scooped up into a rock cliff for protection -- hemmed in. Maybe Isaiah? This is the picture that comes to mind for me. Very beautiful poem. Thank you for the prompt.

Oh thanks for that connection. Elijah, maybe, in 1 Kings...?

Liz Gilbert spoke this week as certain poets being windows to love. She mentioned Mary Oliver. I find this to be true. Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem.
