Montana Sky Time, An Audio Reading
A Voice Memo Poetry Reading
Listen from the inside, noticing what is stirred in sensation, feeling, and/or cognition.
This poem by Rob Baker comes to us from the Spring 1990 issue of Parabola, titled “Time & Presence.” It was published so long ago, and Parabola is no longer active. You can find some print issues on used book sites. I found this one at a used bookstore.
Baker cuts right through the haze of everything that obscures what matters. In a single line, he gifts words for a very particular grief. The poem calls all of me back to the Now.
I’m glad you’re here!
My name is Kirsten. I accompany folks as they attune to their inner lives.
Soulspace is a spacious place to belong as you are becoming: to anchor amid the chaos, be seen and known, and make room for pain, longing, wonder, delight, and hope.
The Grounding + Becoming blog is a (free!) care package of audio and visual invitations and collaged essays about being human. If you feel a draw to embodied accompaniment, I hold space in person and online.
