My friend Toni Goodman shared this beautiful Mary Oliver poem with us. Thank you Toni, my poetry mentor!
Poem of the One World
Mary Oliver
This morning
the beautiful white heron
was floating along above the water
and then into the sky of this
the one world
we all belong to
where everything
sooner or later
is a part of everything else
which thought made me feel
for a little while
quite beautiful myself.
Since I have not taken a photo of a white heron, here is one of a snowy egret, also a gorgeous bird.
