Read By Amanda Palmer
"When I Am Among The Trees" is about the calmness, majesty, and beauty of being surrounded by trees and walking in the woods.
Remarks -
Walking among trees has health benefits. Shinrin-yoku or "forest bathing" is a practice in Japan, where people are encouraged to visit and spend time in a forest to improve their health.
Studies have confirmed that spending time within a forest setting can reduce psychological stress, depressive symptoms, and hostility, while at the same time improving sleep and increasing both vigor and a feeling of liveliness.
Mary Jane Oliver was an American poet who won the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Her work is inspired by nature, rather than the human world, stemming from her lifelong passion for solitary walks in the wild. It is characterized by a sincere wonderment at the impact of natural imagery, conveyed in unadorned language. In 2007 she was declared to be the country's best-selling poet.

To go easy, to be filled with light, and to shine. YES!

When I am among the trees, especially the willows and the honey locust, equally the beech, the oaks and the pines, they give off such hints of gladness. I would almost say that they save me, and daily. I am so distant from the hope of myself, in which I have goodness, and discernment, and never hurry through the world but walk slowly, and bow often. Around me the trees stir in their leaves and call out, “Stay awhile.” The light flows from their branches. And they call again, “It's simple,” they say, “and you too have come into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled with light, and to shine.

Among the trees speaks to the potential of man to be good and patient and kind. Can we treasure these things, passing them on to others, at some point in time ?

When the noise of the world is too much, we are helped by turning to the mystic. Mary Oliver is a spirit guide. Let us walk slowly and commune with the trees.

When I was overwhelmed, I would go to a place under trees and listen to the wind move the leaves.

Great poem! It has a very Thoreau-like sentiment. I wonder if Mary Oliver ever read Walden.

I thought this was Mary Oliver reading -- but it's Amanda Palmer who may be more Mary Oliver than Mary Oliver herself -- holding back the tears here in Philadelphia on a beautiful spring day...beautifully done Mary/Amanda, thankyou

I love Mary Oliver's poetry, and Amanda Palmer read this poem, "When I Am Among The Trees", beautifully well. When I am among the trees, especially the willows and the honey locust, equally the beech, the oaks and the pines, they give off such hints of gladness. I would almost say that they save me, and daily. I am so distant from the hope of myself, in which I have goodness, and discernment, and never hurry through the world but walk slowly, and bow often. Around me the trees stir in their leaves and call out, “Stay awhile.” The light flows from their branches. And they call again, “It's simple,” they say, “and you too have come into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled with light, and to shine.”
