"Hope is an orientation, an insistence on wresting wisdom and joy from the endlessly fickle fabric of space and time."

— Krista Tippett, Becoming Wise: An Inquiry into the Mystery and Art of Living

Speaking of podcasts, Poetry Unbound is a lovely relaxing listen. It's a gateway into poetry for those that haven't yet found an appreciation for it and an audio-booster for those that already enjoy poetry.

I listen regularly, but here's a link to the episode I listened to tonight:

Seventh Circle of Earth

A poem by Ocean Vuong.

The On Being Project
This #OnBeing on #Disability with #SaraHendren popped up in my feed right after a therapy appointment about my fears and mourning of adjusting to this current phase in my body’s life, which happened to fall on one of my worst brain days ever. It gives me a lot to let sink in, and was really helpful for me in putting some puzzle pieces together in my own head. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-being-with-krista-tippett/id150892556?i=1000635080117 #LongCOVID

Apple Podcasts
Any #podcast lovers? My favorite program that I am sorely missing (& so wish would #JoinTheFediverse) is #OnBeing. They changed their production schedule which is understandable after the many years they have existed. I'm feeling its absence though. It's rare to find media that respects its audience (noncommercial, minimal sponsor talk, lack of sensationalism, hopeful). Even poetry & meditation podcasts get tone wrong. I require zero of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sp7eUWcPx7c

Pico Iyer — The Urgency of Slowing Down

Absorption as a definition of happiness. "To bring that calm into the motion, the commotion of the world." Traveling not in order to move around but in order to be moved. His friend Leonard Cohen. Stillness & silence as a recharging station for the soul.

Dead Stars by Ada Limón

Here’s the interview.

And here’s the poem:

Out here, there’s a bowing even the trees are doing.Winter’s icy hand at the […]
