About this listen
Wellllll, perhaps we can discuss something today that will give you the freedom to reevaluate :)

Also, in what may be the first instance of this since we finished the 300 albums series, we spent so much time on topic content that we had to move the poem to written format instead! Thanks for your patience with this ;)
-Poetry Time-
How to Be Hopeful
by Barbara Kingsolver
Look, you might as well know,
this device is going to take endless repair:
rubber cement, rubber bands, tapioca,
the square of the hypotenuse,
nineteenth-century novels, sunrise—
any of these could be useful. Also feathers.
The ignition is tricky. Sometimes
you have to stand on an incline
where things look possible. Or a line
you drew yourself. Or the grocery line,
making faces at a toddler, secretly,
over his mother's shoulder.
You may have to pop the clutch
and run past the evidence. Past everyone
who is praying for you. Passing
all previous records is ok, or passing
strange. Just not passing it up.
Or park it and fly by the seat of your pants.
With nothing in the bank, you will
still want to take the express. Tiptoe
past the dogs of the apocalypse
asleep in the shade of your future.
Pay at the window. You'll be surprised:
you can pass off hope like a bad check.
You still have time, that's the thing.
To make it good.

Thank you so much for being here,
