Setting aside time and space to sit with your selected poem and reflections is one of my favorite things about Sunday. Congratulations on your exciting book news! I can’t wait to hold and read a copy.

I often find myself despairing the idea that everything in my life gets commoditized. Even the idea of “taking the time” has implications. But when I look back at my life, what I remember are the times when I allowed myself to experience the world and all its wonder. In a way, the war in this poem is that very struggle between the forces at work in our own lives. I loved this poem, and thanks for the introduction to this poet.

I’m looking forward to getting an opportunity to read Pilgrims! Very exciting! Congratulations!!
