Beautiful, Emily. Mary Oliver is one of my favourite poets. And look at you, sharing these beautiful words despite what you’re going through. Thank you 💛

Gorgeous, both your writing and the poem.

That was brilliant, and exactly what I needed to remind myself that I am doing just fine, idling through the fields.

The first time I encountered Mary Oliver it was simply the breathtaking line "you do not have to be good." I remember looking up the rest of the poem and feeling like it wasn't as strong in comparison to that first line. But every time I've encountered it since I've enjoyed and understood the peace of the whole poem better. It's built a nest inside my brain and I'm so glad x

I hope you are finding moments of peace in amongst all the everything that the world is at the moment x
