crazy poem!
Rupi Kaur should take notes on how to read a poem
Ah my love, but ave you tasted the ambrosial nuts of infinities graces, in a garden not sculpted by the consolation prize of an oppressive patriarchy but the living rainforest unmolested itself promising love poetry and sublime culture and wit and living plays with myriad sublime commentaries and communication and wisdom stories unique for each of it's millions of species in better than angelic chorus all around and better visual languages too than the best human art leading to better Definitions of Divinity than even the most holy problematic ones of we Monkeys made Human by male boastfulness if we could only be a little bit better and less oppressive with our Kingdoms and Money Systems and Overpopulating and Patriarchal Macho Fantasies all the time? No, well I'm not sure I ave either but it's worth a shot to try though is what I think.
This being human is a guest house Every morning a new arrival A joy a depression a meanness some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor Welcome and entertain them all Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture still, treat each guest honorably He may be clearing you out for some new delight The dark thought the shame the malice meet them at the door laughing and invite them in Be grateful for whoever comes because each has been sent as a guide from beyond ג׳לאל א-דין רומי

Whats the title of the book?
He’s Clowning but Drowning, after Stevie Smith Nobody heeds him, the dead beat, But he mustn’t grumble: He is much further out than you thought but should hush and be humble. Dumb prat, he never liked carking And who will care? It must have been too hard for him his hope gave way, Well, meh. Ho, ho, ho, ho! It was too hard always (but there’s no point in moaning) He was much too far out all his life and is drowning but clowning. partly by John Davies
How is he doing this in a studio but the audio is so terrible????
Just say.... YES, Helena ! :) Perfect.
Wonderful.
☝️ I love when she reads The Guesthouse
I really love this
I am recuperating from surgery; and my friend sent this link. Sooooo BEAUTIFULLY done; thank you.
An epic performing artist!
Joan why are you spending time as before time spells with a puppy. #truthforcetimelessgoodtogoJesusChristisreallybackinfullforcenow2024 in Jesus Christs name we pray amen.
What a glorious find. Sir Simon is an incomparable artist. Thank you to all who made this program possible.

Such a great poem by Stevie Smith. I've never heard a better recitation.
IS THE LOVE APP STILL AVAILABLE? Can't find it...
I would love it if she were to read every poem I love. She does it so well.
That phrase was used in Hotel Du Lac by Anita Brookner. Lovely reading ❤
I could listen to her all day. ❤
Oh Helena❤❤❤
This compilation of poems for autumnal days plus these wonderful people reciting them made my day
Great
I could listen to her for hours as she read interesting literature.
that was lovley. realy was in an unironic way.
Please! Cut out all music. Trust your readers. Poetry is wonderful by itself.
Live life as if everything is rigged in your favor. 💚 Mevlâna Celâleddin-i Rumî
And that sums up the most painful reality of life.
I would love to sit a chitty chat to her, with a cup of tea and a few rich tea biscuits.
Helena bonham Carter XXXXXX
I'd like to hear this without the music and the gurgle of the water. Hearing that gurgle makes me wanna pee! Music is too loud.
this is what tranquility feels like🤍
I sure love the interpretation she gives it, in my mind I heard myself shifting emphasis here and there. But thats just a difference in our experience I think. Never heard a poem from Rumi before though.
I never knew Sylvia had a daughter
So see for yourself Helena no one has clue❤❤
To overdraw of actors is just a joke ,funnnnnny Dear Helen is just trying to do the best she can?
