#57: Two poems - Death as a habit and Prayer is Attention

I read two poems this week by Mary Oliver. She is the one poet who always finds the right words to articulate the moment. In this episode I read - "Every Morning" which contextualises death and how we become used to it. The second poem is "The Real Prayers Are Not The Words But The Attention That Comes First". Listen in!    I discovered Every Morning on this link first- https://www.instagram.com/p/CNusJjcB3yh/ However sharing another link here from The Poetry Foundation for both poems: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/browse?contentId=42419 https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/browse?contentId=36384 The host, Ravneet Bawa as -   @two_thirds_beneath on Instagram   @maikeya on Twitter   Email: ravneet_bawa@icloud.com Disclaimer: This podcast is created for sharing with friends and family, and only as a passion project amidst the Covid lockdown with no commercial interest.
