The Prayer of Birds (poetry of Mary Oliver) [SSL192]

“Joy is not designed to be a crumb,” says the late poet, Mary Oliver.
I read and reflect on four of her pieces that come from her book Devotions.

How many tabs are open?

When I work on a project, be that a book, an article, or while writing for my podcast, I’m the kind of creator who has 10-15 browser tabs open, files and images cluttering my desktop, and resources propped open from several places. It’s a messy system. It’s no system. But, I’m delighted by a new solution.

It’s called Kahana. A free service, platform, and tools to help with everything I want to make or plan. Optimal organization and clean and undistracted writing hubs are built-in. Now, just one navigable area holds my whole project that teem with files and resources—and it’s stress-free.
What a salvation from wasted time and hassles!

If you’d like to take a look at this free-forever access to writing resources that is simple, frictionless, and distraction-free, use the reference code FOUNDER.
🚩PLEASE NOTE: These are limited spots on a waiting list and available for a limited time. Get you Founder Account at Kahana or get more info here at Kahana.blog

Eps. 172: Wild Hope; Guest, Gayle Boss

My guest is author Galye Boss. Her stunning Advent book about how various North American animals wait out and survive the dark, cold winter was an instant classic. Now, she releases a fitting second book, this time for Lent. This too, is another gorgeously-illustrated book that features 24 amazing animals of the world that are vanishing from existence. (David G. Klein, Illustrator) Our conversation covers topics in both her books and a lovely reading from Wild Hope by Gayle.
