In this episode, I share two poems that have really affected me. I heard one of them decades ago; the second came to my Facebook page just recently.
"If I Were a Poem" by Sara Holbrook and "Thank You" by Matt Moberg are poems that reach into the heart and, like a kite on a windy day, drag you, laughing, to the height of joy and then dash you to the ground, still and breathless.
They both speak of joy and awe and beauty and love as well as desperation and the depths of grief. They offer a love of life that is both astonishing and messy--sacred, even--and they want, above all, for us to relish in the love of it all and pass it on.
And they both need to be read aloud. Hear them on my “B Inspired” podcast. I hope you enjoy them.
"B Inspired" can be found on your favorite podcast platform.
