Entering The Kingdom by Mary Oliver Poem

I Worried Mary Oliver I worried a lot. Will the garden grow, will the rivers flow in the right direction, will the earth turn as it was taught, and if now how shall I correct it? Was I right, was I wrong, will I be forgiven, can I do better?

There are few poets whose words settle into my soul the way Mary Oliver’s do.

The dream of my life is to lie down by a slow river and stare at the light in the trees—to learn something by being nothing a little while but the rich lens of attention. —Mary Oliver ..*
