Sunrise

How should a person enter fire? Put another way, how should we handle the pandemic strife and social pathos of our times? Poet Mary Oliver suggests that we can give in to fear and anger in “a fury of light,” or take a deep breath and confront it with an equal measure of grace. She goes so far as to use the word “happiness.”


Sunrise has been removed from Our Break Room at the request of the Oliver’s estate.
