What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? :: Mary Oliver[/B]

Is that a rhetorical question?
Within the context of the poem, it is not a rhetorical question. Mary Olliver’s poems invoke a thoughtfulness, and invite the reader to apply it with extreme breadth.
If you would like to answer it here in words, please do. If you prefer to answer it off the 'net, in each of your decisions and relationships, that’s good too.
Mary, thank you for hosting my thread so well. 
I know you and I are both fans of Mary Oliver’s poetry.
I posted this question from Oliver’s poem, [I]The Summer Day,[/I] as a spark for introspection because, as I read this line, it was for me. This is a universal question, a very common question, but the “wild and precious life” that she wrote of is still a call to be witness to our every choice in life. A few friends and I shared with each other what asking ourselves this question yielded. My thinking was to share it here in the same spirit, with the hope that it might offer whomever was reading it some insights of their own, whether shared here or not.
