Fire in the Hearth

In this episode, we discuss that thing that we all "love" discussing: death (through the lens of poetry). We enjoy a good chat about the blending of pain and peace at a good death, the courage and virtue to face it well, and the call to look to God always to lead us on, both now and then. Join us around the fire, wherever you may be.
