Poetry Friday -- Mary Oliver

As I mentioned on Wednesday, I'm trying to live deliberately this year.  Poetry is one of the things that helps me pause when life gets too crazy.  In that spirit, on Friday's I'll be sharing poems that I love with the hope that you are moved as much as I have been.  If I get really crazy, I might share a few of my own poems. 

Originally I wanted to reproduce the poems here on the blog, but I don't want to infringe on the poet's copyright.  Therefore I'll be passing along clips of the poet reading his or her work or links to sites that have obtained the permission to reproduce the poem. 

Legalities out of the way, I give you one of my favorite poets, Mary Oliver, reading her poem Sunflowers.
