Poetry of the Week
Mysteries, Four of the Simple Ones
And when the blue heron, breaking his long breast feathers,
sees one feather fall, does he know I will find it?
Will he see me holding it in my hand?as he opens his wings
softly and without a sound—
as he rises and floats over the water?Read the whole poem by Mary Oliver, here.

It’s a grasshopper, isn’t it? They have wings, don’t they?
Why is the silly thing just carrying them?
Mary – LOL. Well, I don’t rightly know. Presumably it could have hopped, too, although I don’t know how well that works going straight up. I’ll watch for other animals doing things they’re not good at.
very nice video, though, with excellent commentary!
Mary – Thanks!
I will hear the stirring soundtrack and remember The Longest Climb every time someone around here makes a big deal about doing the ordinary. Chuckle tee-hee!
Laurna – Fair enough. Or you can stand back and be amazed at what spectacular feats the ordinary seems to encompass. Or both . . .
