February 27, 2021 a project of ServiceSpace The witchery of living is my whole conversation with you, my darlings. All I can tell you is what I know. - Mary Oliver - Mary Oliver & The Witchery of Living "Will the hungry ox stand in the field and not eat of the sweet grass? Will the owl bite off its own wings? Will the lark forget to lift its body in the air or forget to sing? Will the rivers run upstream? Behold, I say -- behold the reliability and the finery and the teachings of this gritty earth gift." So begins this poem from Mary Oliver. It is a poem that bristles with imperatives, pointblank inquiries and penetrating insight. It is a poem large of heart and long of stride, that whisks the reader right into the enchanted thicket that is,'the witchery of living.'
