Ah, Mary Oliver. As I’ve found myself unexpectedly in flyover country for the past few years (first in a dingy apartment in a rust belt city, and then, two years ago, in the middle of the cornfields), I have loved this poem: http://writersalmanac.publicradio.org/index.php?date=2008/10/14
I should plan to think more poems like this. Doing is the most overrated thing there is.
