As you may have determined, from the couple of emails I sent you, I tremendously enjoy your blog.<br /><br />Today, I must say, I disagree with you slightly.<br /><br />This poem is dear to me- it was one of the very first poems I featured in my CF/poetry blog. I don't think Oliver is telling us that one magical day we wake up and have the answers for the journey. Rather, I understand her to mean that one day we wake up and realize, viscerally, that no one else supplies the answers (even our docs with their stats and predictions) or the magic formulas. <br />It's up to us to wake up each day and begin anew to ask the questions, find the answers, and define our own journey. That's the work, that's the journey, and there's not a single day that it comes easy, that it all falls into place.<br /><br />Congrats on the Pulitzer, btw. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924439865196022375.post-32542507881181428132011-03-18T09:32:13.786-04:002011-03-18T09:32:13.786-04:00Beautiful post.
