Silence, which we dont get enough of. Maybe that speaks for itself. people could point to us with the arrows they make in their minds. Its still the elements. And then I kept thinking, What are the other things I can do that with?. Our lovely theme music is provided and composed by Zo Keating. Join our constellation of listening and living. And it wasnt until really, when I was writing that poem that the word came to me. And I always thought it was just because I had to work. Tippett: Yeah, it was completely unnatural. I just saw her. The caesura and the line breaks, its breath. No, really I was. Oh, Im stressed. Oh, if you want to know about stress, let me tell you, Im stressed., Limn: I like to tell my friends when they say theyre really stressed, Ill be like, Oh, I took the most wonderful nap.

And when you say I know one shouldnt take poems apart like this, but The thesis is the river. What does that mean? no hot gates, no house decayed. Tippett: Something I remember reading is that you grew up in an English-speaking household, but your paternal grandfather spoke Spanish and that you just loved to listen to him. So it felt right to listen again to one of our most beloved shows of this post-2020 world. Krista interviewed her in 2015, and it quickly became a much-loved show as her voice was just rising in common life. I grew up in Glen Ellen in Sonoma, California, born and raised. What happens after we die? And she says, Well, you die, and you get to be part of the Earth, and you get to be part of what happens next. And it was just a very sort of matter-of-fact way of looking at the world. Then in 2018, she published a brilliant essay called "Complicating the Narratives," which she opened by confessing a professional existential crisis. Tippett: Im really glad youre enjoying it because theres many more decades. Yet it is a deep truth in life as in science that each of us is shaped as much by the quality of the questions we are asking as by the answers we have it in us to give. Tippett: Its that Buddhist, the finger pointing at the moon, right? I was so fascinated when I read the earlier poem. Science and the Human Spirit. Right. We were so focused on survival and illness and vaccines and bad news. Theres how I stand in the lawn, thats one way. whats larger within us, toward how we were born. And they would say, I dont want to go to yoga. And I was like, Why? And they said, I just dont want anyone telling me when to breathe.. Oh, thank you.

And both parents all four of my parents, I should say would point those things out, that special quality of connectedness that the natural world offers us. And its a very interesting thing to be a kid that goes back and forth, and Im sure many people have this experience or have had that experience, where youre moving from one home to another. And so thats really a lot of how I was raised. Is it okay? The danger of all poets and I think artists in general, is it some moment we think we dont deserve to do this work because what does it do? Dont get me wrong, I do, like the flag, how it undulates in the wind. In all kinds of lives, in all kinds of places, they are healers and social creatives. Thats how this machine works. And this poem was basically a list of all the poems I didnt think I could write, because it was the early days of the pandemic, and I kept thinking, just that poetry had kind of given up on me, I guess. Then three years later, Tippett left American Public Media to create her own production company, Krista Tippett Public Productions, which has aligned with WNYC/New York Public Radio to distribute the show to affiliates nationwide. and the world. Tippett: And then a trauma of the pandemic was that our breathing became a danger to strangers and beloveds.

And actually, it seemed to me that your marriage was in fine shape. So you grew up in Sonoma, California, but my sense is that its not the land of Zinfandel and Pinot Noir that immediately comes to mind now when someone says Sonoma. But then I just examine all the different ways of being quiet. And I think it was that. We inhabit a liminal time between what we thought we knew and what we cant quite yet see.

Like, Oh, take a deep breath. Then we get annoyed when it works, too. We read for sense. has lost everything, when its not a weapon, It is still the wind. So it felt right to listen again to one of our most beloved shows of this post-2020 world. Limn: I remember writing this poem because I really love the word lover, and its a kind of polarizing word. The fear response, the stress response, it had so many other kinds of ripple effects that were so perplexing. This is amazing. [laughter] Where some of you were like, Eww, as soon as I said it. I dont know why this, but this. And I remember reading it was Elizabeth Bishops. And I love it, but I think that you go to it, as a poet, in an awareness of not only its limitations and its failures, but also very curious about where you can push it in order to make it into a new thing. But I want you to read it second, because what I found in Bright Dead Things, which was a couple of years before that, certainly pre-pandemic, in the before times, was the way you wrote, a way that you spoke of the same story of yourself. Tippett: Yeah. I have people who ask me, How do you write poems? And you talk about process. We value the ancient power of storytelling, and we get that good stories require conflict, characters and scene. And if you cant have hope, I think we need a little awe, or a little wonder, or at least a little curiosity.

And so, its so hard to speak of, to honor, to mark in this culture. No, to the rising tides. It wasnt used as a tool. We are in the final weeks as On Being evolves to its next chapter in a world that is evolving, each of us changed in myriad ways weve only begun to process and fathom. I have decided that Im here in this world to be moved by love and [to] let myself be moved by beauty. Which is such a wonderful mission statement. BOB ABERNETHY, anchor: We have a profile today of Krista Tippett, the host of the weekly public radio conversation "Speaking of Faith," which won a Peabody Award this week. The On Being Project And I think most poets are drawn to that because it feels like what were always trying to do is say something that cant always entirely be said, even in the poem, even in the completed poem. Tippett: You hosted this, The Slowdown podcast, this great poetry podcast for a while and. And it feels important to me whenever Im in a room right now and I havent been in that many rooms with this many people sitting close together that we all just acknowledge that even if we all this exact same configuration of human beings had sat in this exact room in February 2020, and were back now, were changed at a cellular level. When you find a song or you find something and you think, This. You may also catch references to things seen and witnessed throughout the event including a stunning opening poem by our dear friend Maria Popova, composed of On Being show titles which you can take in fully by viewing the recorded celebration in its entirety on our YouTube channel. so mute its almost in another year. Tippett: Yeah. And the title comes from when youre planting a tree and youre looking for where the sun is the right space, you can draw where the circles are, and theyll tell you to plant where the circles overlap. Two entirely different brains. But I mean, Ive listened to every podcast shes done, so Im aware. And thats also not the religious association with Sunday, right? inward and the looking up, enough of the gun, They are honoring and recovering the fullness of the human experience the life of the mind, the truth of the body, the wild mystery of the spirit, and our need for each other. And I feel like poetry makes the world for that experience, as opposed to: Im fine.. and over against the ground, sometimes. Limn: Yeah. No, theres so much to enjoy. Each of us imprints the people in the world around us, breath to breath and hour to hour, as much in who we are and how we are present as in whatever we do. like something almost worth living for. I was actually born at home. It makes room for all of these things that can also be It holds all the truths at once too. We live the questions. And its continual and that it hits you sometimes.
