A pocket of infinity to start my day

These last couple of days in February 2023, I’ve started by reading the email of the poem, and then clicking the links to the poet biographies, and then the recordings. When they strike me down my center, they are delicious. I love making my mornings big and poems can do this, not just for me, but maybe for you, too.

Love this

Love reading a poem in the morning. Thank you

Cindy.Kuzma ,

Exactly what I needed, right now

I listen first thing in the morning, and it immediately sets a thoughtful tone for my day.
