from Marie Howe's interview with Krista Tippett, On Being

[Text ID: Ms. Tippett: So in your childhood — and I’ve read a lot of other interviews you’ve given and some of your writings, and I don’t see you talking about the roots of poetry there, or of you being a poet. Is there any way you trace that? Ms. Howe: I didn’t know one could be a poet and live. I read poetry, and I would read the old Harvard Classics we had in our living room. I would pour through these dusty books and try to find language that was adequate to experience, or try to find language that could somehow hold the unsayable. And some of the Mass did that. Some of the the parables do that. I love the parables and the stores of Noah, and Abraham, and Isaac, and all those great old stories. They’ve struck me as poems. They hold so much mystery and complexity. A story is all there, but we know that the story, the real story is inarticulate. And I loved that. I love the spaces in between what happens. But I didn’t understand you could be a poet until I was about 30.]

Every time we train our most sophisticated tools upon the central questions of our existence – Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? – the answer comes back clearer: Everyone and Everywhere.

James Bridle, from “The Intelligence Singing All Around Us”. An interview with Krista Tippett. Onbeing, March 2, 2023.

It’s hard to transcend a combative question. But it’s hard to resist a generous question. We all have it in us to formulate questions that invite honesty, dignity, and revelation. There is something redemptive and life-giving about asking a better question

"We’re just starting to understand that just because you’re born with a certain set of genes, you’re not in a biologic prison as a result of those genes — that changes can be made to how those genes function, that can help.

And maybe some changes are more likely to occur than others, and some genes are more flexible than other genes, but the idea is a very simple idea, and you hear it from people all the time. People say, when something cataclysmic happens to them, “I’m not the same person. I’ve been changed. I am not the same person that I was.”

And we have to start asking ourselves, well, what do they mean by that? Of course, they’re the same person. They have the same DNA, don’t they? They do. And what I think it means is that the environmental influence has been so overwhelming that it has forced a major constitutional change, an enduring transformation. And epigenetics gives us the language and the science to be able to start unpacking that"

Krista Tippett: “You said something about that attention without feeling is only a report. There is more to attention for it to matter in the way that you want it to matter.”

Mary Oliver: “You need empathy with it, rather than just reporting. Reporting is for field guides and they're great, they're helpful, that's what they are. But they're not thought provokers and they don’t go anywhere. I say somewhere that the attention is the beginning of devotion, which I do believe.”

I talk about hope being a muscle. It’s not wishful thinking, and it’s not idealism. It’s not even a belief that everything will turn out OK. It’s an imaginative leap, which is what I’ve seen in people like John Lewis and Jane Goodall. These are people who said: “I refuse to accept that the world has to be this way. I am going to throw my life and my pragmatism and my intelligence at this insistence that it could be different and put that into practice.” That’s a muscular hope. So, to your question, I don’t always feel robustly hopeful. Depression is something I’ve struggled with. I’ve found the world an unbearable place for months at a time in the last two years. But at the same time I don’t feel like there’s a place in my work for my despair.

We need a modicum of vitality to simply be alive in this time. And we’re in an enduringly tender place. The mental health crisis that is invoked all around, especially as we look to the young, is one manifestation of the gravity of the post-2020 world. How to name and honor this more openly? How to hold that together with the ways we’ve been given to learn and to grow? Who are we called to be moving forward? Dr. Vivek Murthy is a brilliant, wise, and kind companion in these questions. He’s a renowned physician and research scientist in his second tenure as U.S. Surgeon General. And for years, he’s been naming and investigating loneliness as a public health matter, including his own experience of that very human condition.

It is beyond rare to be in the presence of a person holding high governmental office who speaks about love with ease and dignity — and about the agency to be healers that is available to us all. There is so much here to walk away with, and into. This conversation quieted and touched a room full of raucous podcasters at the 2023 On Air Fest in Brooklyn.

“To me, healing is about making whole… To be a healer you have to be able to listen, to learn and to love”.

"The way love actually works.... it's what you do, it's daily giving, it's what you do in spite of how you feel because you care about that relationship"

4 Simple Steps Out of Loneliness

Spend 15 min a day connecting with someone you care about (that is NOT in your household)

Give people your full attention when you're with them. Your attention has the power to stretch time.

Service we forge a connection and affirm we have value

Solitude Loneliness about whether you feel you belong. Its about the quality in your relationship with others and yourself.

"Small acts of kindness are radical acts of defiance"

Life is soupy, mixed up, and tumultuous. Muddying the waters is precisely the point because it’s from such nutritious streams that life grows.

“Since before we were Homo sapiens,” he writes, “humans have been seeking out spaces of darkness in which to find and make meaning.” Darkness in the natural world and in human life, he suggests, is a medium of vision, and descent a movement toward revelation. In a moment in which a new relationship to the ground we stand on has become a civilizational calling, Robert Macfarlane’s way of seeing the world — at once scholarly and playful, literary and enchanting — refreshes and motivates in a most life-giving way. (Krista Tippett, On Being)

Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation about the worlds beneath our feet, and how we interact with and find meaning through them.
