about

Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile, the world goes on..." --Mary Oliver, "Wild Geese"


The world that you and I knew has ended and many things are changing and yet, the sun still rises and sets, and the spring flowers are blooming here in the Mojave Desert. The earth--- our source and ground---is beneath our feet.

Here is a program of poetry to connect you with all the life and beauty that remains despite the great changes underway. I've included poems by Eleanor Lerman, James Wright, Czeslaw Milosz, W.S. Merwin, Billy Collins, Wallace Stevens, Eavan Boland, David Whyte, Pat Mora, and Mary Oliver.

Poetry can be a doorway into a reflective space and peace of mind. I'll include poetry in future podcasts, and invite you to email me poems that you'd like to hear, or better yet, email me a recording of you reading a poem that you like.

Share your voice and a moment of connection with the Myth Matters story circle by emailing your recording (or poem) to me at drcsvehla@gmail.com. I will mention your name unless you ask to be anonymous.

In celebration of National Poetry month here in the United States-- and of all the good that remains.

“Poetry is not a luxury. It is a vital necessity of our existence.” —Audre Lorde
