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