    Oliver on Attention as Devotion

    Six words from a poet who paid attention for a living. Oliver on Attention as Devotion sits with Mary Oliver's closing line from her essay Upstream, attention is the beginning of devotion, tracing it from the teach-the-children passage through what attention really asks of us into one small daily practice. Inside: where the line lives and who it was written for; what Oliver means by attention and why devotion follows it; and a closing practice, one neglected thing, five minutes a day, for one week. About eight minutes, a slow evening beside still water.

    Frankl on Meaning in Suffering

    One sentence from a doctor who earned every word. Frankl on Meaning in Suffering sits with Viktor Frankl's line from Man's Search for Meaning, in some way, suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, tracing it from the camps through his three paths to meaning into one honest look at what pain is for. Inside: who Frankl was and what logotherapy asks of us; why the sentence begins with in some way; what a sacrifice has to do with suffering; and a closing practice, one page, two columns, on any heavy day. About eight minutes, a slow evening with a psychiatrist who prescribed meaning. CHAPTERS 0:04 What Suffering Becomes 1:08 The Doctor Who Asked Why 2:21 In Some Way 3:36 The Meaning of a Sacrifice 4:53 A Practice for Heavy Days 6:18 Carry One Line Out 7:30 Keep One Line Close CREDITS Bed music "Sad Waters" by Adi Goldstein, licensed via Uppbeat, code FWMEPICSCPQH3GE9, link https://uppbeat.io/c/adi-goldstein Love the music in this episode?

    Mary Oliver on Your One Wild Life

    One question closes the most quoted poem in American life. Mary Oliver on Your One Wild Life sits with the final lines of The Summer Day, tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life, tracing them from a grasshopper in the grass into one honest look at how a day gets spent. Inside: who Oliver was and why she kept walking the same Provincetown woods for forty years; what the poem refuses to tell you; why wild and precious pull in opposite directions; and a closing practice, one hour outside with no errand but noticing. About seven minutes, a slow evening with a poet who asked everything and ordered nothing. CHAPTERS 0:04 The Grasshopper in the Grass 1:12 The Woman Who Walked and Noticed 2:12 A Question, Not an Answer 3:11 Wild and Precious 4:37 A Practice for One Day 5:49 Answer With Your Life 7:05 Keep One Line Close CREDITS Bed music "Sad Waters" by Adi Goldstein, licensed via Uppbeat, code FWMEPICSCPQH3GE9, link https://uppbeat.io/c/adi-goldstein Love the music in this episode?

    Seneca on the Shortness of Life

    Everyone says there is never enough time. Seneca on the Shortness of Life sits with the Roman Stoic's two-thousand-year-old answer, it is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a great deal of it, tracing it from the opening of his essay to Paulinus into one honest audit of a modern week. Inside: who Seneca was and why translators shade his famous sentence a little differently; where the wasted hours actually go; why the essay aims at the ambitious rather than the lazy; and a closing practice, count each day as a small life of its own. About seven minutes, a slow evening with a philosopher who refused to flatter busyness. CHAPTERS 0:04 The Complaint About Time 1:20 The Man Who Watched Rome Hurry 2:11 Waste, Not Shortage 3:09 The Busy and the Idle 4:24 A Practice for the Hours 5:36 Begin at Once to Live 6:42 Keep One Line Close CREDITS Bed music "Sad Waters" by Adi Goldstein, licensed via Uppbeat, code FWMEPICSCPQH3GE9, link https://uppbeat.io/c/adi-goldstein Love the music in this episode?

    Rumi on Wounds Where Light Enters

    One sentence, seven centuries old, and it still finds the tender place. Rumi on Wounds Where Light Enters sits with the most quoted line of the Persian mystic, the wound is the place where the Light enters you, tracing it from Coleman Barks's beloved English rendering back to the Mathnawi passage on trusting your wound to the surgeon. Inside: who Rumi was and why the compact line is a doorway rather than the room; what the instruction to keep looking at the bandaged place actually asks of us; the wound reframed as a door instead of a verdict; and a gentle practice for one tender place in the week ahead. About eight minutes, a slow evening with a poet who refused to insult grief with slogans. CHAPTERS 0:04 Where the Light Gets In 1:05 The Poet of the Wound 2:04 Keep Looking at the Bandaged Place 3:10 The Wound as a Door 4:36 A Practice for Tender Places 6:00 Carry the Light With You 7:16 Keep One Line Close CREDITS Bed music "Sad Waters" by Adi Goldstein, licensed via Uppbeat, code FWMEPICSCPQH3GE9, link https://uppbeat.io/c/adi-goldstein Love the music in this episode?
