"Here it is: the new way of living with the world inside of us so we cannot lose it, and we cannot be lost. You and me are us and them, and it and sky." --Ada Limon
To Be Made Whole
"Look, we are not unspectacular things.
We've come this far, survived this much.

Stood for the many mute mouths of the sea, of the land?
What would happen if we used our bodies to bargain
for the safety of others, for earth,
if we declared a clean night, if we stopped being terrified..."
Poet Laureate Ada Limon reflects on the natural world, reciprocity and more in this interview with Krista Tippett.
