The Poet (delayed)

Welcome to The Poet Delayed Podcast! This podcast is a space for real, honest, and meaningful conversation. I explore poetry, literature, healing, relationships, and the deep importance of connection—not just with others, but also with ourselves. While we talk about the beauty and significance of relationships, we also dive into the vital act of staying true to who we are. It’s easy to lose ourselves in the world and in the connections we cherish, but this space is a reminder that being in relationship with others should never mean abandoning ourselves. Whether I’m sharing my own journey or talking with guests, my goal is to create a space where stories and experiences bring us closer together. I believe that through sharing, we find understanding, and through connection, we find a sense of belonging. "May I be I is the only prayer - not may I be great or good or beautiful or wise or strong." - E.E. Cummings

  May 26, 20261h 58mS0

  <p>What is light?</p> <p>Not metaphorically.<br><br> Not poetically.<br><br> Actually.</p> <p>In this conversation with Suzanne Bates, we explore light as biology, energy, communication, healing, emotion, rhythm, consciousness, and connection.</p> <p>We talk about why morning sunlight changes the body, how the heart emits measurable energy, why coherence matters, how suffering shapes us, and why healing may begin with learning not to abandon ourselves.</p> <p>The more we talked, the more it felt like light is not just something we see — it may be the thing participating in everything.</p> <p>I'd lo...

  When We Are Tired

  Apr 28, 202624 minS1

  <p>There is a quote attributed to Nietzsche that reads: When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago.</p> <p>I’ve found that to be true.</p> <p>When we’re exhausted physically, emotionally, or psychologically, old fears return, clarity fades, and problems that are solvable can feel impossible. We forget who we are. We forget what we’ve survived. We forget that help exists.</p> <p>In this episode, I reflect on fatigue, overwhelm, and the temptation to surrender ourselves when life feels too heavy. Drawing from my own poems, Forgotten Walls and Terrib...
