BTW 7: 5 of Cups - Coping with Grief and Loss with Poet Ariana Reines

Episode Summary

In this episode we talk about the five of cups, walking through the territories of loss and grief, but we have a poet with us, Ariana Reines, author of A Sand Book, which just won the Kingsley Tufts Poetry award and was long-listed for the National Book award… but awards aside, we’re happy to have her here because, as everyone knows, poets take our greatest heartaches and weave them into something beautiful, something useful, some kind of magic or medicine. Stay tuned to find out how you can too.

The episode begins with a song you can sing while pouring out libations for those dreams/people/phases/etc no longer with us:

For all the pieces broken far beyond repair

For all the leaving trains, things that go away

For all who flew or faded, not to be forgotten

I spill the 5 of Cups upon the earth for them
