Wild Geese By Mary Oliver

“Wild Geese” is a poem about human vulnerability. The beautifully and gently crafted words put the pressures and difficulties of everyday life into perspective. The poet expresses the burden people feel to be “good” and also notes that everyone inevitably experiences “despair” or loneliness from time to time. It is an inspiring, soothing and heart opening listen. This reading makes a beautiful reflection to use before or after your meditation or yoga practice. I wanted to share this beautiful, touching piece with you and to introduce you to the wonderful work of Mary Oliver. Written by Mary Oliver Narrated by Lauren Calder.
