Mary Oliver uses "The Journey" as an extended metaphor to state that everything that we do does not have to revolve around other people, and that we shouldn't constantly worry about what others think about our decisions in life. She urges the reader to transform themselves and break away from society, to find their own voice and explore new ways of life. The ability to be yourself and be unique requires us to stand up to the norm and show who we are, regardless of what society thinks of us. Towards the end, she uses the metaphor to show the reader that the little voice that has been speaking to you constantly in the back of your mind is the one that will save you, and allow you to become the person that you want to be, not what socieity deems is correct or appropriate.
