Upstream: Selected Essays by Mary Oliver

reflective

4.0

In the beginning I was so young and such a stranger to myself I hardly existed.

genuinely such a gorgeous collection, all these words of wisdom. mary oliver is as articulate and deft and gentle in prose as she is in poetry. felt as though i was meandering with her through those very childhood woods, but trailing a respectable distance behind, letting her reminisce the moments in nature on her own, merely an audience to the woman she will be remembered as for years to come. i love her so much.
