    What an incredible poem - and the cadence with which it was read was spot on. Thank you all for bringing this beauty into my life. It's a great kindness.

    Every day I try to be a better person and every day I get frustrated with everyone and everything. Art like this make me keep trying

    Thank you. Listening to this poem /is the first thing I leaned into today / after a mug of coffee/ and stroking the dog's soft tummy/ which she offered to me/ and that too was kindness/and your words your words reminded me/oh this is why/this is how/there is kindness in words/shimmering in the air between us/ it was a kindness/ thank you.

    This poem reminds me of "killing me slowly"; how it approaches so gently then presses in so deeply. Wonderful.

    Lovely beyond measure and the reading is just fantastic...the words jumping to life from off the page.. Thank you for this kindness; something to return to on days we might be that woman...
