The Journey -Mary Oliver

 (Dr N A Jarandikar)

                               (BA Part II /Semester IV/Compulsory English)                                                                        

                                                                       The Journey                                                                                                                         - Mary Oliver

•          Mary Oliver is an American poet.
•          In the poem, the poet says, one should listen to the inner voice. The journey of your life that starts when you listen to your own voice may be difficult. But this kind of journey illuminates your life.
•          One day, finally your inner voice tells you what should be your journey, what should be your life. And you decide to work in that way.
•          But people around you (your friends, relatives, neighbours) keep shouting. They dislike your decision. Their voices are so strong that you feel now the whole house will tremble. You feel now everyone will leave you. They insist on saying, “Mend my life!”
•          The powerful wind tries to shake your foundation. You feel it’s a kind of wild night and the road is full of fallen branches and stones. But now you have taken your decision.
•          As you start your journey, you are able to see the stars through the clouds. Now you realize that your decision is right. Now you listen to the new voice of hope which keeps your company.
•          In this tough journey, you determine to listen to your inner voice and save the only life that you have got.

मेरी ऑलिव्हर ही एक अमेरिकन कवयित्री आहे. ‘The Journey’ ही एक रूपकात्मक कविता आहे. कवी आपल्या आतला आवाज ओळखण्यास आणि त्या आवाजाच्या सोबतीने चालण्यास सांगत आहे.

तुम्हाला एके दिवशी हा आतला आवाज ऐकू येतो. तुम्ही ठरवता की मला आयुष्यात नेमके काय करायचे आहे. पण असा निर्णय घेणे हे तितके काही सोपे नसते. तुमच्या अवतीभवतीचे लोक तुम्हाला वेडा ठरवतात. तुमचा निर्णय अविचारी ठरवतात. तुम्हाला असं वाटू लागतं की जणू काही सगळं घरच आता कोसळतंय. सगळे आवाज तुम्हाला मागे खेचत राहतात. घोंघावणारा वारा आपल्या ताठर बोटांनी तुम्हाला हलवून सोडायचा प्रयत्न करत राहतो. तुम्हाला जाणवत राहते बाजूची गडद, अंधारी रात्र आणि खाचखळग्यांनी भरलेला रस्ता. पण तुमचा निर्णय पक्का असतो. तुम्ही आपला प्रवास सुरूच ठेवता. आणि मग हळूहळू ढग विरत जातात आणि तुम्हाला दिसू लागतात लुकलुकणाऱ्या चांदण्या. तुम्हाला ऐकू येतो एक नवा आवाज जो तुम्हाला सांगत राहतो की तुमचे एकच आयुष्य आहे आणि तुम्ही तेवढेच वाचवू शकता.
