"Held my breath in the ER, I swayed as I stood" -- In Framing, The Hotelier

This seemingly unassuming lyric captured exactly what I experienced when my father was hospitalized shortly before his death.

Experiencing some wild synchronicity today.

2016: The Hotelier release a song which references author Mary Oliver and one of her poems.
2017: I post one of Oliver's poems on my old blog (unaware of her other works).
2023: Listening to the aforementioned song prompts me to search for more of Oliver's work, which leads me back to my old blog post.
