Summer Days: A Companion to Mary Oliver’s “Devotions”
At its best, summer is a season of rest and joy – tapping into the ancient, sacred practice of sabbath restoration. Mary Oliver can help us reconnect with this dimension of summertime, savoring what she calls its “luminous sprawl of gifts.”
This devotional is designed to be flexible: use it as an individual practice of companionship with Oliver’s Devotions; or in partnership with family or friends; or with a small study group, or even a whole congregation. Spread it out over four weeks, four days, or a holiday weekend.
