Voice of the Day: Mary Oliver

The wild geese, high in the clean blue air,

are heading home again.

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,

the world offers itself to your imagination,

calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting--

over and over announcing your place

in the family of things.

- Mary Oliver
from her poem "Wild Geese"
