On choosing to Pause for Peace

Be More Poet

Nine months ago, I was drawn to start offering a weekly Pause for Peace in the face of the mounting violence around the world. This episode explores the power of the poetic in standing in such a place, helping us see with different eyes and enlarging our humanity.

Excerpt from Saved by a Poem: The Transformative Power of Words by Kim Rosen
