After almost 20 years on public radio at the helm of her award-winning show On Being, Krista Tippett is transitioning the weekly program to a seasonal podcast.. Tippett said that the On Being Project, her nonprofit organization that produces the show, began seeing itself a few years ago "as a media and public life organization and to figure out what it means to be that. I have people who ask me, How do you write poems? And you talk about process. In generational time, they are stitching relationship across rupture. And its funny to tell people that youre raised an atheist because theyre like, Really? But I was.

So Sundays were a different kind of practice, if you will, a different kind of observation. And this particular poem was written after the 2017 fires in my home valley of Sonoma.

And it felt like this is the language of reciprocity. is so bright and determined like a flame, squeal with the idea of blissful release, oh lover. And to feel that moment of everyone recognizing what it is to kind of look out for one another and have to do that in the antithesis of who we are, which was to separate. Its so interesting because I feel like one of the things as you age, as an artist, as a human being, you start to rethink the stories that people have told you and start to wonder what was useful and what was not useful. Tippett: And then Joint Custody from The Hurting Kind. We just ask questions.

Precisely at a moment like this, of vast aching open questions and very few answers we can agree on, our questions themselves become powerful tools for living and growing. I have a lot of poems that basically are that. The poets brain is always like that, but theres a little I was just doing the wash, and I was like, Casual, warm, and normal. And I was like, Ooh, I could really go for that.. Special thanks this week to Daniel Slager, Yanna Demkiewicz, and Katie Hill at Milkweed Editions. And I think there was a part of me that felt like so much of what I had read up until then was meant to instruct or was meant to offer wisdom. And then a trauma of the pandemic was that our breathing became a danger to strangers and beloveds. Adventures into what can replenish and orient us in this wild ride of a time to be alive: biomimicry and the science of awe; spiritual contrarianism and social creativity; pause and poetry and more towards stretching into this world ahead with dignity . Krista Tippett; Filtrer Krista Tippett Voir les critres de classement. In 2014, Tippett was awarded the National Humanities Medal by U.S. President Barack Obama . For me, I have pain, so Ive moved through the body in pain. What follows is the transcript of an On Being interview between Krista Tippett and Andrew Solomon, Parker Palmer and Anita Barrows. Silence, which we dont get enough of. Limn: Yeah. We orient away from the closure of fear and towards the opening of curiosity. Tippett: And this is about your childhood, right? and what I do not say is: I trust the world to come back. And I also just wondered if that experience of loving sound and the cadence of this language that was yours and not yours, if that also flowed into this love of poetry. s wisdom and her poetry a refreshing, full-body experience of how this way with words and sound and silence teaches us about being human at all times, but especially now. Tippett: And that is so much more present with us all the time. But you said I dont know, I just happened to be I saw you again today. And then there are times in a life, and in the life of the world, where only a poem perhaps in the form of the lyrics of a song, or a half sentence we ourselves write down can touch the mystery of ourselves, and the mystery of others. What if we stood up with our synapses and flesh and said. And now we have watched it in these 25 years go from strength, to strength, to strength. I write the year, seems like a year you We are in the final weeks as On Being evolves to its next chapter in a world that is evolving, each of us changed in myriad ways weve only begun to process and fathom. How are you?. And I know that when I discovered it for myself as a teenager that I thought, Oh, this is more like music where its like something is expressing itself to you and you are expressing yourself to it. If you think about it, its not a good, song. Lean Spirituality. What were talking about and not when we talk about mental health. We elevate voices of wisdom and models of wise thinking, speaking, and living. Tippett: I wrote in my notes, just my little note about what this was about, recycling and the meaning of it all. I dont think thats [laughter]. We have been in the sun. I write. And so I gave up on it. like water, elemental, and best when its humbled, And the next one is Dead Stars. Which follows a little bit in terms of how do we live in this time of catastrophe that also calls us to rise and to learn and to evolve. Krista Tippett leaves public radio. Is it okay? The danger of all poets and I think artists in general, is it some moment we think we dont deserve to do this work because what does it do? lover, come back to the five-and-dime. Because I love this poem, and no one has ever asked me to read this poem. With an unexpected and exuberant mix of gravity and laughter laughter of delight, and of blessed relief this conversation holds not only what we have traversed these last years, but how we live forward. I have your books, and theres some, too. until every part of it is run through with "Right now we are in a fast river together every day there are changes that seemed unimaginable until they occurred." adrienne maree brown and others use many . And then it hits you or something you, like you touch a doorknob, and it reminds you of your mothers doorknob. It is still the river. So can we just engage in this intellectual exercise with you because its completely fascinating and Im not sure whats going on, and Id like you to tell me. That its not my neighborhood, and they look beautiful. Limn: I think the failure of language is what really draws me to poetry in general. So its this weird moment of being aware of it and then also letting it go at the same time. [laughter] But I think you are a prodigy for growing older and wiser. to pick with whoever is in charge. We live the questions. Tippett: So the poem you wrote, Joint Custody. You get asked to read it. I think thats something we didnt know how to talk about. So the poem you wrote, Joint Custody. You get asked to read it. But if you look at even the letters we use in our the A actually was initially a drawing of an ox, and M was water. That just took me back to this moment in the pandemic where I took so many walks in my neighborhood that Ive lived in for so many years and saw things Id never seen before, including these massive Just suddenly looking down where the trees were and seeing and understanding, just really having this moment where I understood that its their neighborhood and Im living in it. So in The Carrying, there are these two poems on facing pages, that both have fire in the title. I think coming back to this idea that poetry is as embodied as it is linguistic. Tippett: And also, I read somewhere that Sundays were a day that you were moving back and forth between your two homes, your parents divorced and everybody remarried. Theres how I dont answer the phone, and how I sometimes like to lie down on the floor in the kitchen and pretend Im not home when people knock. Good, good. And yet at the same time, I do feel like theres this Its so much power in it. This means that I am in a reciprocal relationship with the natural world, not that it is my job to be the poet that goes and says, Tree, I will describe it to you. [audience laughs] I have a lot of poems that basically are that. "On Being," a weekly interview show about the mysteries of human existence, hosted by Krista Tippett, airs on nearly 400 public radio stations, with more than half a million weekly listeners . And if its weekly, theres a day of the week and you do it. And I feel like poetry makes the world for that experience, as opposed to: Im fine.. I feel like the short poem, maybe read that one, the After the Fire poem is such a wonderful example of so much of what weve been talking about, how poetry can speak to something that is impossible to speak about. I have, before, been, tricked into believing Tippett: I chose a couple of poems that you wrote again that kind of speak to this. And we think, Well, what are we supposed to do with that silence? And we read naturally for meaning. The thesis has never been exile. And its true. And were at a new place, but we have to carry and process that. In me, a need to nestle deep into the safekeeping of sky. Yeah. And the next one is Dead Stars. Which follows a little bit in terms of how do we live in this time of catastrophe that also calls us to rise and to learn and to evolve. Tippett: I dont expect you to have the page number memorized.
