Umm...Excuse me when I say, Goddamn that was beautiful and deeply soulful. Please read more poetry to us out there who need it, who need the soothing voice, the amazing words, tumbling out like jewels to remind us of magic all around.

Dear One,
My deepest gratitude for this podcast. Your voice is like soothing salve on the wound of my heart...as I received news today that makes life so much sweeter...news that my life may be much shorter than I planned it to be...
Mary Oliver and Billy Collins have been my constant companions for many years now, and there is nothing I love more than to be read to...you are such a light to this world...such a light.....

love your blog and this post...just beautiful
