Denise Levertov, William Stafford, Hazel Hall, Jonathan Galassi, and Willy Blake explore the theme of threads: those that trail and those that lead. A human life -- a thread in a larger garment. Broadcast LIVE Wednesdays, 10 AM on https://player.enlightenradio.org Hosts: Janet Harrison, John Case This Episode Recorded February 28, 2024
The Way It Is
by William Stafford
There's a thread you follow. It goes among
things that change. But it doesn't change.
People wonder about what you are pursuing.
You have to explain about the thread.
But it is hard for others to see.
While you hold it you can't get lost.
Tragedies happen; people get hurt
or die; and you suffer and get old.
Nothing you do can stop time's unfolding.
You don't ever let go of the thread.
