Listen "Packing for Graduation"
Episode Synopsis
Episode Notes
This week's poem and episode explore memory, especially those valuable to recall as we approach graduation (which I know many of us are at this time), well before the tasks, lists, and thoughts surrounding moving, university, or a first full-time job set in. Think of these tasks, lists, and thoughts as the vertebrae while the potent memories are the spine that allows you movement, feeling, and a rooted way forward.
Here's an excerpt of the poem (the full written & visually formatted versions can now be found & read at mikbrew.substack.com!):
Please, let me back you up a little bit
because you’ll need to pack
for graduation first, either
in a notebook or a branch of your brain,
and on the other
bough-like bookshelves of your mind,
you’ll find these the way you might shop
from memory & association when
you not only forget the list but
forget just how many things
you’ve remembered…
