I read ahead on the Writer’s Almanac site to the poem for Saturday: “Hum” by Mary Oliver. Maybe it’s all the honey I’ve been having in my tea lately, or my recent visit to an online exhibit called Listen, but I lingered on “Hum”, reading it twice, thinking about the bees and the details I stop to notice – and wondering about those I miss. What are the details you noticed today and which of your senses drew you to notice them? I imagine Mary Oliver is as attuned to nature as the wildlife tracker in the exhibit.
