“We are always getting ready to live, but never living.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

Tonight, we leave the hearth behind… and carry the fire out into the woods.

In this episode of Verse and Tales, we explore Ode to a Nightingale by John Keats — a poem that captures a fleeting but wonderous moment of beauty… Where the weight of life is set aside, and something deeper takes hold.

As the nightingale sings, Keats is drawn into a kaleidoscope of emotions, from wonder, despair and even the temptation of death.

This episode is a meditation on presence in the moment, and the quiet tragedy of always preparing to live, but failing to notice time slipping away, the gentle invitation to stop, listen, and exist fully.

So join me… by the fire… beneath the trees…

The Fire is Lit!
