    Sleeping in the Forest by Mary Oliver is a poem which‚ as with other poems she has written‚ connects things in nature to human experience and feeling. The first line held my full attention saying "I thought the earth remembered me‚" as I did not know at first why Oliver included the word thought.

But‚ the actor who played Bill Sykes had forgotten one element of his costume that was so crucial to the show and the meaning of it. His hat. Sure‚ he forgot a hat. Big deal‚ right
