This one resonated with me. She seems to know the struggle I'm going through finding my "place in the family of things." So comforting. 🥰

One day, sunning on a friend’s beachfront deck, a neighbor and her dog walked up. The neighbor? Mary Oliver with her dog Percy. She sat, Percy played about. She recited something she’d been working on. The sky was blue and white, heavy with salt. And Mary Oliver shared her work with us. What an amazing moment. A gift. 💙
