  • Summary

  • In this extra short episode we wanted to share a beautiful poem by our friend the award-winning poet Laura Theis, for anyone who needs a little dose of tender hope and protest at the moment. This poem is a beautiful reminder that whatever is going on in the world, the story doesn’t belong to any one person, but is always ours to write; a collective project.

    Thanks to Laura for sharing your voice and your words with us in this episode.

    my tbr is neverending

    tonight I’m reading

    the sky again

    looking for clues

    amongst its vivid

    birds I’m reading

    the shadows

    that surround

    each small but brilliant

    source of light

    I am reading a million

    protest signs composed

    of petals

    they can take away

    the books

    but the story

    still moves forwards

    they cannot steal

    the story’s ending

    when its teller is

    the world

    —Laura Theis

    PS For anyone who doesn’t know: “TBR” stands for to be read, as in all the books that you have on your "to read" pile.
