How do we begin?For our PRACTICES segment, we ask: what’s keeping you sane?Each episode will have a song or poem of the week that feels integral to the work. This week, it’s a poem by Sarah La Rosa from her book Her Strange Angels:The way to find a measure of solace in the place of unknowingOf waitingOn the verge of deep watersIs to remember that we are equipped with the ability to floatWater is out natural stateWe had our beginnings in a sacred seaAnd so returning to that vast ocean does not have to be scary and unknownIt could be more like going home.Subscribe to the podcast now—in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher or anywhere else you find podcasts.
