The closing lines of "The Summer Day" are in my head constantly. I can't say I always live them as well as it's possible to do (unless spending a lot of time doing chess puzzles online is literally the best way to spend my one wild and precious life), but it's a great reminder, and so beautifully written! Thanks for sharing; it's never a bad day for reading Mary Oliver!

I just read this to Grandma Jo and we wept a little bit together. Especially your closing lines. Poetic and moving. Thank you.
