IN THIS EPISODE

What takes us even deeper than mythology? The direct relationship with the earth itself. 

In this episode, I share a 20th century poem rather than an ancient story: Seamus Heaney’s "Digging."

• Finding the mythic, magical moments in the everyday, and in art that seems to describe “the mundane”
• The evolution of the name of my Substack newsletter to  Myth is Medicine. Words are Magic. 
• Reflections on sharing poetry with my daughter at the start of our first day of homeschooling
• The nature of work, whether that’s farm labor or sitting at the writing desk
• Listen to Mr. Heaney recite "Digging"

Music at the start of the show is by Beth Sweeney and Billy Hardy: billyandbeth.com
