Pockets of the Day [SSL168]

I’m thankful for my friends Noel Young and his correspondence and Michael Wright (from his thoughtful weekly newsletter Still Life) for introducing me to the gorgeous, spacious, and needed gems from three poets that I will share with you today: Steve Garnaas-Holmes, Mary Oliver, and Yahia Lababidi.

There is more music on this episode than normal. Don’t rush through listening to this episode. It is only 10:00 minutes. Be patient with all of it and enjoy it. Use it as a way to put a pocket of space and grace in your day (Relaxing Celtic Music ★86 (Short) composed by Peder B. Helland and released by Soothing Relaxation. link)
