This is the third episode in Sound Insight's series celebrating National Poetry Month.

This episode was inspired by that profound sense of disorientation that arises when the ambient turmoil becomes so pervasive, it begins to feel normal. I explore how listening to sensations of resonance and dissonance in our bodies can guide us back to clarity and alignment.

This week's poem is called Unmoored.

The courage to arrive in a world that's not always welcoming.

This is week two of Sound Insight's series in celebration of National Poetry Month.

This week's poem is called Arrival Rite.

In this reflection and poem, I explore what it takes to show up, especially when the world does not feel welcoming. And how that rite of arrival can lead to a sense of our worthiness that runs deeper than the stories we are told or the ones we believe about ourselves.

In honour of National Poetry Month (and a recently fractured collar bone) I'm practicing "less is more" this month. And nothing illustrates that more perfectly than poetry. In April, Sound Insight will feature a series of three reflections, each accompanied by one of my poems.

This week's poem is Threshold.

We tend to think of thresholds as lines to cross, doorways to enter, or edges from which we leap. If we are held there longer than we want to be, we become impatient, agitated, or even despondent. We rarely consider the value in the threshold itself. This poem was written during one of those difficult threshold seasons, April 2020, our first COVID-19 lockdown.
