Few are those whose contribution to humanity fills the heart with uncontainable gratitude for their very existence. Mary Oliver paid compassionate attention and made a supreme art of bearing witness to our world and our place in it. Mary, you will be missed, but your poetry lives on in our hearts.
One of my favorite poems, by one of my favorite poets (read by her in the video taken by me):
THE FOURTH SIGN OF THE ZODIAC (PART 3)

I know, you never intended to be in this world.
But you’re in it all the same.

So why not get started immediately.

I mean, belonging to it.
There is so much to admire, to weep over.

And to write music or poems about.

Bless the feet that take you to and fro.
Bless the eyes and the listening ears.
Bless the tongue, the marvel of taste.
Bless touching.

You could live a hundred years, it’s happened.
Or not.
I am speaking from the fortunate platform
of many years,
none of which, I think, I ever wasted.
Do you need a prod?
Do you need a little darkness to get you going?
Let me be as urgent as a knife, then,
and remind you of Keats,
so single of purpose and thinking, for a while,
he had a lifetime.
