I was consuming, or rather, consumed by, Mary Oliver’s work recently via the On Being podcast, and I wanted to elaborate on what her words brought forward for me. There is a saying that one does not have to understand the words they read to infuse them into their being — as the words are written in a vibration the soul can comprehend regardless of language. Mary Oliver, I think, really brings this truth to somatic light. One can feel her words, and I hope that in turn, I can share what her words bring forward for me.
