Listen "Loving"
Episode Synopsis
Episode Notes
Our poem takes a deep dive into love today, specifically all the things it might and might not be.
How far outside the box can we take the concept of love, especially on the heels of Valentine’s Day and Family Day? Since love is such a critical element of our well-being and mental health, this poem offers a few of my thoughts on what love means, to both broaden and deepen how we think about it—namely as a central current in our lives.
Here's an excerpt of the poem:
Yet, the question of our lives is always
with us: unlike gravity, can we choose
to break this law of love? Do we have
the choice not to follow it?
Perhaps the true form of loving is agility:
never forgetting to ask those two questions
and tallying how many times we’ve answered,
“Yes, but here’s how many times we haven’t.”
