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.
