Many listeners will be familiar with Mary Oliver.
This is the fourth Mary Oliver poem to feature on this podcast.
You can find Snowy Night in Episode 2, The Journey in Ep. 34 and Wild Geese in Episode 143.
This one returns to some gorgeous familiar ground with Mary Oliver — the tension between the sweetness and slowness of the natural world, and the restlessness of human ambition.
