#1 - A comforting poem for hard times
This Episode, I read Joy Harjo's - "Perhaps the World Ends Here". It is a poem that is a commentary on the everyday family life and talks about how your Kitchen Table is witness to your whole life's history. In a few short, poignant lines, it takes you through the motions of mundane lives. It is especially relevant as a read in the time of Covid, as we sit in lockdown with our families, working, eating, conversing, watching television, and making post lockdown life altering plans, right here, on our kitchen tables.
