What this episode covers
While the geese are migrating this fall, I’ll be staying put. I’m getting out my warm clothes, firing up the heat, lighting a backyard fire from time to time as a way to see friends. And bracing myself for change. And I’ll be thinking of the incredible feat of migration, the way the birds and other animals travel thousands of miles, and yet always come back. This week, we have music from the Greenfield Dance Band, Keith Murphy, Phoenix, Tristan Henderson, and Pete Sutherland. Julie reads poems by Mary Oliver and Rumi, and Lorelei Erisis reads a poem by Susan Reid. Have you seen our Patreon yet?
