God, Mary Oliver gets right to my gut-I know it's pure poetry b/c I get goosebumps when I read her stuff. Those are great poems to contemplate; slowly; over and over again. I remember when I was having some sort of rough time and SamIAm sent me the Wild Geese poem and it made me feel better.

I also like the one that begins "You do not have to be good-" b/c I am not and I always think I should be.

My thoughts this rainy, blowy morning are with you orthodoc. You will prevail.
