This blazing sunrise startled me with its beauty one cold morning last week. It brings to mind the lovely words of Mary Oliver, who I’ve just heard has died today:
… and I thought
how the sun
blazes
for everyone just
so joyfully
as it rises
under the lashes
of my own eyes, and I thought
I am so many!
What is my name?
What is the name
of the deep breath I would take
over and over
for all of us? Call it
whatever you want, it is
happiness, it is another one
of the ways to enter
fire.

…the forest looks like it’s on fire!

Great shot, and you know Mary Oliver, I had never heard of her until she died and so many of my fb friends and blog acquaintances were big fans. I’ve been reading some of her stuff and it is really good. I’m off to a bookstore with my son this afternoon with the intention of buying a book of hers.

So lovely. I actually came from Our World to say thank you for the Mary Oliver tribute that you put up there and realized that I’d somehow missed this post. . My favorite poet — she lived her one wild and crazy life to the fullest and left us much. .
