What a beautiful and meaningful poem! It was the heart of a sermon last Sunday on "Abundant Living," one of the most profound I've ever heard. Mary Oliver sees the extraordinary in the ordinary, and suggests that each one of us has the potential to be extraordinary...maybe we are being extraordinary without even realizing it! "The Summer Day" reminds me of the play "Our Town."
