The conversation of this hour always rises as an early experience that imprinted everything that came after at On Being. inward and the looking up, enough of the gun, rough wind, chicken legs, If you live, and snowshoes, maple and seeds, samara and shoot, enough chiaroscuro, enough of thus and prophecy, and the stoic farmer and faith and our father and tis, of thee, enough of bosom and bud, skin and god.

And I think when were talking about this, were talking about who we are right now, because were all carrying this. Tippett: Yeah. And I love it, but I think that you go to it, as a poet, in an awareness of not only its limitations and its failures, but also very curious about where you can push it in order to make it into a new thing.

So, On Preparing the Body for a Reopened World..

And it sounds like thunder? With. It suddenly just falls apart, and I feel like there are moments that I travel a lot in South America, with my husband, and by the end of the second week, my brain has gone. Tippett: I love that.
