A review by ladybird4prez
Dream Work by Mary Oliver

A really beautiful collection with lots of meditations on nature; the personification of it, its simplicity, its complexity, its beauty, and its ultimate indifference to human life. Sometimes there’s nothing more comforting than acknowledging how small you are and how vast our world is. I think I read this at the perfect time, too. The seasonal affective disorder hits hard and I always look forward to spring. Finally getting to be out in nature reinvigorates me and I look at everything with a deeper appreciation after months of darkness and gloom. The fact that simple natural occurrences can have such an effect on me.

and what we see is the world

that cannot cherish us

but which we cherish
