Subconsciously created, as all art is. Right? But then today I opened to this poem. An old favorite that pairs well. I thought I’d share them both.
Mary Oliver - When Death Comes
When death comes
like the hungry bear in autumn;
when death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse
to buy me, and snaps the purse shut;
when death comes
like the measle-pox;
when death comes
like an iceberg between the shoulder blades,
I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering:
what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness?
And therefore I look upon everything
as a brotherhood and a sisterhood,
and I look upon time as no more than an idea,
and I consider eternity as another possibility,
and I think of each life as a flower, as common
as a field daisy, and as singular,
and each name a comfortable music in the mouth,
tending, as all music does, toward silence,
and each body a lion of courage, and something
precious to the earth.
When it’s over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.
When it’s over, I don’t want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don’t want to find myself

On this week’s episode Parrish Gibbons stops by to discuss her new role as Executive Director at @hallwalls , replacing the previous director that had held the position for 30 years prior.
She lays out the vast historical significance of the organization as a Buffalo institution, and what’s important to her vision as it moves forward in this new phase of leadership.
We also talked about what it means to be leader-y, synchronicity and the leap of faith, the patience of motherhood and a lot more. It was a real pleasure to catch up with such an old friend.
