#47 - A poem about choices that reminds us of our many possibilities
In this episode, I read "Possibilities" by the Polish poet Wislawa Szymborska. I love the genuine and generous voice that Wislawa lends to her poetry. It is the voice of a seasoned and loveable aunt, the voice of one who you go to for advice about the secret to a happy marriage and also to rant about climate change. It is the voice of one who observes keenly, remarks subtly and maintains sharply. This poem is called Possibilities and is a way of saying only that I prefer many things, and so must you. We can all live here, side by side and question still the reason for being. Listen in!
