In this season's conversations, Holly & Rachel each bring something that has caught their attention during the week, and spend time exploring what these provocations inspire and ignite.
This week's conversation was a beautiful exploration of the soul. Each of us brought very different provocations and explorations, but each in their way were portals to explore what happens when we stay open to life's wonders, and allow ourselves to bring our souls to life. From talking about 'warm spaces' where we can feel safe enough to 'feel' with someone, to exploring the beautiful poem 'Things I believe' by young Afghan poet, this conversation was a rich exploration of what it means to be human, and why keeping our humanity alive in these times feels more important than ever.
What I Truly Believe
I believe some books are so clever
that they read you back. That teapots
have feelings and spoons remember
what they stir. I believe the moon
tucks in lonely children when no one
else remembers. That the stars
know all our secrets but won’t tell.
That silence can shout louder than thunder
And dreams have wings but only fly
when you whisper them secrets.
That some people shine even when
the lights are off. That being small
doesn't mean you’re powerless, just
still growing. I believe I am writing poems
in invisible ink, and one day, someone
will read every word out loud.
