"The Journey", By Mary Oliver.

As I recite this poem, I wish for you to hear through my words the honest, yet compelling voice of Mary Oliver. How many days and nights of our lives have Mary's words leapt off the pages, gently at times - brutality honest in another sentence. "The Journey" commands you to trust yourself, release the chains of past hurts, violations, and attachments, which imprison our dreams and highest intentions. The fragility of our mortality is difficult to speak about. She assures us that it won't be easy, yet it's the only life we have worth living. Thank you for you. Namaste.
