For this season finale of #PoetryUnbound, we offer this poem from @danushalameris. An invitation into the existential limitation of being alive, and into the experiences of beauty and art that enliven us at our limits. 🙏 @upittpress onbeing.org/programs/danusha…

It's been a delight to pull together this collection around emergence...all in our common ecosystem with @emergence_zine.
A collection emerging from a practice of contemplative/conversational reading alongside James Bridle’s “Ways of Being,” as curated by @kristatippett and @onbeing. Featuring @RobGMacfarlane, @DrSuzanneSimard, Jane Goodall, & Robin Wall Kimmerer. open.spotify.com/playlist/5I…

So delighted that @duanalla's amazing poetry podcast has caught fire! His lyrical commentary on a different poem each episode is a lifeforce. So grateful for him and for the @onbeing way of being in the world. newyorker.com/news/on-religi…
