Happy Earth Day, everyone! Keeping with our theme of National Poetry Month for all of April, this episode features a poem by Pulitzer Prize–winning poet, Mary Oliver.

For anyone who loves the outdoors, and camping outdoors in particular, I think this poem paints a lovely picture of what we experience when connecting with nature.
