The Summer Day by Mary Oliver

Aya C

“The Summer Day (Mary Oliver) There’s something to be said for not being productive, not scheduling or creating projects for ourselves and children. People always read this well-known poem as needing to maximize! Do all the things! Take advantage of our one wild and precious life! I think having fallow times, being slow and bored and watching a bug or listening to leaves, sitting near a loved one,”
