First Snow.
First Snow by Mary Oliver.
Today, we were drawn to our poetry selection, Mary Oliver’s First Snow, for all the obvious reasons! Oliver tells us once more that the beauty and “awesomeness” of nature is the essence, and quite possibly the answer to, well… everything. Our cue to tune in, and out, respectively.
