Coup de coeur
(Poetry), by Niamh
Fret not, Mary Oliver is here. Allow her to take your hand and guide you into the garden. Consider the leaf and the stream, she suggests, the hummingbird and the gnat. Delving into the quiet and extraordinary powers of the natural world, Mary Oliver grounds us, soothes us, and holds us gently between her verses.
I go down to the shore in the morning
and depending on the hour the waves
are rolling in or moving out,
and I say, oh, I am miserable,
what shall-
what should I do? And the sea says
in its lovely voice:
Excuse me, I have work to do.
Whether studying the leaves of a tree or mourning her treasured dog Percy, Mary Oliver is beautifully open to the teachings contained within the smallest of moments. In A Thousand Mornings she explores, with startling clarity, humour and kindness, the mysteries of our daily experience.
