The Leaf and the Cloud by Mary Oliver
3.0

My favorite part of this longer piece was this: “slowly / up the hill, / like a thicket of white flowers, / forever / is coming.” Beautiful imagery. As with many of Oliver’s works, I feel a pull toward looking at the world as if I had a microscope, as if everything was rippling and shining and of the utmost interest. After reading Oliver, I want to go take a walk in the woods.
