Ep. 42: In My Marrow

Available: August 1, 2024

Soaked to the bone.

I brought it from the womb

And will take it to the dust.

Place chains on my wrists,

yet I am free;

Make my walls into iron bars,

yet I am free

For my mind is unchainable and

My heart uncageable.

Abdication is my only threat.

I’m William Wallace free.

I’m Solomon Northrup free.

I’m Viktor Frankl free.

I am Human; I am Free

In this episode, I read my poem, “In My Marrow,” and discussed the principle of belonging to ourselves and the importance of knowing who we are what are values are. In doing so, I drew upon the wisdom of Maya Angelou, Brene Brown, Solzhenitsyn, Nietzsche and Jung.I'd love to hear what you have to say about the episode including thoughts on the poetry and the topics that were discussed.
