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 195: Guest, Winn Collier on his Eugene Peterson Biography


Winn Collier has written “A Burning in my Bones” the authorized biography of Pastor Eugene Peterson, who is the man probably best known for creating The Message translation of the Bible. In my conversation with Winn, we meaningfully discuss the man, Eugene, and some key ways that made him who he was. We can’t do more than scratch the surface of all that’s covered in this remarkable book, but we touch some important pieces, some of the impetus and process of this enormous four-year authorized biography project, and how Peterson and his family uniquely touched Winn’s life. Enjoy and share!
