    I love Mary Oliver!!! She's my mom's favorite poet. Wild Geese is easily one of my favorite poems by her.

    It's such a good poem! I also love "Invitation," "Starlings in Winter," and "Spring." They're all so magical in the subtlety of weaving together nature and philosophy. :)

    "I ask Jessica what drowning feels like and she tells me that not everything feels like something else" thanks for the recommendations :)
