A Thousand Mornings by Mary Oliver


I feel guilty for rating it 2 stars. While the thoughts and observance of nature are quite impressive, I have zero connection with Mary’s words. There are still a few lines here and there that I really liked, and I am happy that I had decided to pick up this book to read. However, while the praises for both this book and the poet are high, it is definitely not something that truly calls to me.

For something is there,
something is there when nothing is there but itself,
that is not there when anything else is. – EXTENDING THE AIRPORT RUNWAY
