about

Outrage can be valuable spark for action in these trying times and yet there is another beautiful resource available to us as we endure the collective and personal trials—joy.

Joy is not denial or looking away. Joy is found in mindful presence, and it can change everything.

Reading poetry is one way to unhook from the habit of dire predictions and negative news, and tap into the sweetness of the present. We need this fuel friends, to participate fully in our shared transformation.

In this program, I read poems by Mary Oliver, Robert Francis, Denise Levertov, and others. (A complete list of the poems is available below)


"Sunrise" by Mary Oliver
"Waxwings" by Robert Francis
"The Heart" by Maxima Kahn
"The Sycamore" by Wendell Berry
"Lift Off" by Constance Crawford
"A Blessing" by James Wright
"September Afternoon at Four O-clock" by Marge Piercy
"Constellations" by Phillip Rosenberg
"Making Peace" by Denise Levertov
"A Blessing for the Senses" by John O’Donohue
"I Worried" by Mary Oliver
Excerpt from This Ecstasy by John Squadra

Whatever it takes, keep the mystery in your life alive.
