Sleeping In The Forest ~ Mary Oliver
I thought the earth remembered me,she took me back so tenderly,arranging her dark skirts, her pocketsfull of lichens and seeds.I slept as never before, a stone on the river bed,nothing between me and the white fire of the starsbut my thoughts, and they floated light as mothsamong the branches of the perfect trees.All night I heard the small kingdomsbreathing around me, the insects,and the birds who do their work in the darkness.All night I rose and fell, as if in water,grappling with a luminous doom. By morningI had vanished at least a dozen timesinto something better.
Last year I criticized the producers of Mother: Caring for Seven Billion for not making their excellent film available for free viewing – and this morning I received a comment that it is now on youtube. So here it is! Thank you Tiroir A films (there is a button at that link to donate).
