dogtrax"To follow in (Mary) Oliver's footsteps is not to power walk, but to stroll and stop often to take in sights and sounds and feelings ... Once ... she found herself in the woods with no pen and so later went around and hid pencils in some of the trees."
-- from The Land and Words of Mary Oliver, by Mary Duenwald, in Footsteps (Literary Pilgrimages Around the World), page 66
Another connection to #smallstories, right @tellio ?
Plus, I love that vision of a poet hiding pencils in trees!
