Welcome to the first episode of my new podcast exclusive to The Hyphen: Creative Coffee with Emma Gannon. This is a Substack-only podcast focusing on writers and their creative process, discussed over a laid back coffee.My first conversation is with the brilliant Farrah Storr, head of writer partnerships at Substack who runs Things Worth Knowing, a newsletter always full of interesting essays, tips and guest columns that reaches over 40k readers weekly. I wanted to interview Farrah for multiple reasons — one being that our newsletter readers have a big crossover on this platform (according to the geeky stats) so we thought our readers would enjoy this collaboration, and plus Farrah genuinely cares about writers having success on Substack. She works behind the scenes at the company and runs her own (thriving) newsletter on the side. She is also, like many of us, really over the endless onslaught of short form content.“Writing suddenly got rechristened ‘content'. And ‘content' felt just wrong. I didn't want listicles. I didn't want as much ‘content' as you my optic nerve could handle. I didn't want another ‘hot take'. I wanted to connect. I wanted nuance. I wanted honesty and I wanted points of view that were perhaps not always reflected in the mainstream press. But more than that, I wanted a community.” — Farrah StorrFrom the decades working at the top in women's media, she is really in-the-know on how to grow a writer's brand, how to stand out and generate ideas, how to spot trends, and plus she is generous in sharing hidden gems. I am someone who is very bad at doing prior research before going anywhere so I use Farrah's newsletter as a place for quality recommendations. For example, the most useful things to pack in your suitcase, or all the best spots to visit in Paris that haven't yet been TikTokified, or the best UK cosy staycation places that resemble that cottage in The Holiday. She also writes in tandem with cultural moments, such as how her and husband are the real “One Day” story when the Netflix series aired, which then got picked up as a big mainstream media piece a few days later. Reminder: This new podcast is only accessible to my Hyphen members, I made it for you and your support means it will remain ad-free. The premise is super simple: coffee and chat with a guest on the topic of creativity. If you want access to all upcoming episodes, then make sure you're signed up as a paid subscriber to The Hyphen. A housekeeping note: Most people voted for these podcast updates to be included in the Sunday Scroll emails you already receive instead of dedicated posts — so I will honour that for any new episodes! For the other half of you who wanted weekly updates instead, make sure you keep an eye on the app if you want to be notified on every new post I publish. ♡The Creative Coffee podcast series is going to be pretty cosy and intimate for the most part (I wanted it to be something I could make from home) — however: when I was offered the wonderful chance to host a live recording of the podcast in central London (in a library room in Conway Hall no less!) I, of course, said yes!Thank you so much to everyone who attended the event, it was so lovely to see you in person and raise a glass to the magic of the Substack community. This episode is slightly different in ~vibe~ to the other episodes (because we are literally on stage; my usual set-up is me at home in a massive jumper) — but I absolutely loved it, it felt so special to bring you along with me as I recorded the first one. Enjoy!Links to a few things discussed in the episode:* Farrah's book The Discomfort Zone* Farrah's Substack Things Worth Knowing* Farrah's post about how gardening helps her grow* My books A Year of Nothing and The Success Myth* Farrah on BBC Radio 5 live speaking about a lack of friendship* May Sarton's journal: At Eighty-Two published in 1997* My post experimenting with a journal style piece* Salman Rushdie's new memoir* On Aaron Sorkin taking six showers a day* The list of NYC co-working spaces we discussed was in a thread on the Maybe Baby Substack but sadly I can't find it! I'll add here once I do.Thanks for tuning in! Excited to share this series with you. Please do share with a friend if you think they'd like it! This is a public episode.

Casting out Shame & Self Loathing.By Tx Tall Tales – Listen to the ► Podcast at Steamy Stories. I was standing over the pool at 9:00 am on the dot. I'd gone to bed so early, I'd woken up at 7:00 and couldn't get back to sleep. A McDonald's Egg McMuffin was percolating in my belly, and I felt refreshed and renewed.The pool was full, and the hoses were still going. I quickly turned them off, and rolled the hoses back up. Then I started the filter running. The sun was warm already. It was going to be a hot one. I peeled my shirt off and tossed it to the side, helping myself to some of Amy's sun-tan lotion, covering my shoulders and face.I went out to my car and got the chemicals out. Time for the magic. I walked the perimeter of the pool, adding stabilizer, algaecide, clarifier, and finally shock. I hauled out four 50 pound bags of salt, and started pouring the fine salt into the water, one bag at a time. I was working on the last bag when I happened to glance over at the porch and saw Amy there, leaning against the door watching me. She had on a robe, and an odd little smile.I finished emptying the bag, and headed her way. "Good morning, beautiful."Her smile looked forced. "Morning pool boy.""What's wrong?" I asked, moving closer to her."Nothing. Everything. I don't know.""You're breaking my heart, morning Goddess," I teased."Please. Enough of the Goddess. I'm nobody's Goddess. Slut is more like it.""Don't," I said firmly."It's true!""Don't."She covered her face with her hands. "How can you even look at me after the way I behaved yesterday?"I pulled her close and held her. She was stiff at first, then slowly melted into my arms, crying, tears running down my bare chest."Have you seen your pool yet?" I asked when the sobs had almost disappeared.She shook her head."C'mon then. It's time to see the fruits of your labor." I took her hand in mine and walked over to the pool."What do you think?"She smiled. "A miracle. You saved my ass, Alex.""Quite a nice ass to save, if you don't mind my saying."She snorted, quite unladylike. "You should know. You've seen more of it than anybody else has outside of my doctor.""Are you mad at me, Amy?" I asked."Mad at you? Hardly.""Then what is it?"She leaned her head back with a sigh. "I...I'm not who I thought I was. Amy Dixon would never have behaved like she did yesterday. I never thought I could be such a tramp." She crossed her arms over her chest, turning to face the pool. "How desperate am I, that I would drag you into my backyard and blow you, with my husband sitting watching TV fifty feet away? That I'd let you finger me while laying out next to my friend, and almost beg for more when you left me hanging."She turned to face me. "I'm such a whore. I'm letting you do whatever you want to me, just so I can get my pool cleaned on the cheap. Hell, I practically begged you to spank me and came as hard as I'd ever come in my life, with your finger buried in my ass, God help me. Is this anyway for a married woman to behave? My mother would be so proud."I was lost for words. What could I say to her?I took her hand in mine, and walked her over to the covered porch. "Sit," I told her, at the end of our favorite lounge chair.She sat down stiffly, and I moved behind her, sitting with her between my legs. I wrapped my arms around her and held her. "I don't have any answers Amy. I don't know your situation. I barely know you. You've been a mysterious fantasy for me ever since I was old enough to appreciate a woman. And in the last few days, you seemed like a happy girl, looking for a little excitement in her life, and willing to work for it. There's a wild, playful and extremely sexy woman inside you, looking to get out. I saw her. And I adore her."Amy sniffed loudly. "She's a filthy little slut."I eased my hand inside of her robe, and found nothing but soft flesh. I cupped her bare breast in my hand. "She's my naughty little slut, and she's amazing.""How can you say that? I should disgust you."I squeezed her tightly. "You are every man's dream come true. An Angel in public and a Devil in the bedroom.""Right. I'm no Devil in the bedroom. I'm a boring lay, who can't even keep her man.""That's crazy talk, woman.""It's true. My sex life is miserable. I mean, we do it, more than most, from what I hear. But it's a couple of minutes of sweaty thrusting a few times a week, and that's it. If it wasn't for my shower massage, I wouldn't come more than once a year.""That may be the saddest thing I ever heard. Keep it up, and you're going to see a grown man cry.""It's true!" she snapped.I held her, rocking her back and forth just a little. "What do you want out of life, Amy? You're young, you're beautiful, and your whole life is ahead of you. What do you want?""I wish you'd quit saying I'm beautiful.""Not going to happen. You are, without a doubt, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in person. Let's face it. Teens fantasize about movie stars and TV icons. I've fantasized about you forever. So much better than any celebrity, prettier and real. I've probably come into a dirty sock mumbling your name at least a thousand times over the years. God strike me dead, if I'm lying.""And I'm not young. I'm 26 years old."My hand was caressing her soft breast, toying with her hardening nipple. "Oh my God, 26! I thought you were 25. You are old! Hell you probably only have 70 or 80 years ahead of you. When I'm 91 years old, you'll be 98! What was I thinking?"She poked my leg. "Don't make fun of me, Alex." She twisted around and glared at me.I laid back on the lounger, and opened my arms for her. "Come here, and let's talk. Let's really talk.""No way. I lay down with you, the slut takes over, and I walk away bowlegged.""Not this time. Come here."She sighed dramatically before turning and crawling over me. I reached up. opening her robe, and saw she wasn't quite naked. She was wearing plain white panties.She caught me looking. "One word about the panties, and you'll walk away a eunuch.""Let me hold you," I urged her, my hands inside her robe, pulling her down.She stretched out against me, resting her head on my shoulder. I felt her legs shift, and her hips pressed against me. "What? No hardon? Tired of me already?""Silly. One look from you, one touch, and I'd be busting my shorts and you damn well know it.""Really?" She nibbled on my shoulder, grinding her hips against me. I reached down for her ass, and pushed up against her, squeezing her soft ass cheeks. It was only a few seconds before she felt my hardness pressing against her belly.She giggled. "That's oddly comforting.""Think I'm tired of you?"She squeezed me in her arms. "No.""We're going to play a game, you and I. A variation on Truth or Dare. I ask a question, and you tell me the absolute truth.""And?""And nothing. That's it. Ready?""That's not a game!" she argued.My hand was stroking the soft skin of her back. "Ok, how do you want to play it?""Regular Truth or Dare, except the first three rounds can only be Truth.""Alright. Now are you ready?""Who says you get to go first?""Do you want to go first?"She gave me a poke. "Damned straight. Truth or truth?""Truth.""When you came over the second day, and agreed to do the work, what was the absolute minimum I could have gotten away with offering?""Expenses. When you agreed to cover the material cost, it was a go. When you asked for it as a personal favor I couldn't say no. The only real problem was I didn't have the money to cover the parts. Once Mom said I could use her credit card, and pay it off in 30 days, it was a done deal."She leaned in and bit me on the shoulder. "Ow!""You little bastard! You left me out there worried you were going to turn me down, and I'd have to go crawling to Dale to get some contractors in here. That was mean.""Sorry. I didn't think of it that way. You were the one who sent me away the first day. Any counter-offer that covered the costs would have closed the deal.""Fine. But someday, you're going to pay for that one.""Ok, Truth or Truth?"She giggled. "Just ask the question already.""What is the absolute most I could have gotten away with asking for.""Everything.""Everything? Everything what?"She sighed. "Everything you asked for on the first day, and more. All that night I couldn't sleep, thinking of doing those things to you. Meeting you at the door on my knees each morning. Having you bend me over a table and using me for your pleasure whenever you needed a break. Being your play thing." She giggled. "I mean, it takes a lot of nerve to tell a woman you want a BJ from her every morning. I soaked my panties the moment those words left your lips.""Now who's the mean one?" I teased."You. You could have pressed the issue, and had me totally at your mercy, but no. Meanie."She raised her head, and gave me a sweet little kiss. "Thanks for getting hard for me." She ground her hips against me for emphasis.I smiled. "Anytime.""Truth or truth.""Truth." Like I had any option."Why? Why do you care? Why do you care about anything other than me willingly servicing you?"I took a moment to phrase my answer. It was a tough question. "I'm not sure I know. I want you to be happy. I don't know why, but it's as true as anything in my life. It must be the Neanderthal in me, or maybe Grandpa's Southern Gentleman upbringing. I want to protect you, defend you, and make sure you are as happy as you can possibly be. Anything I can possibly do to make that true is a small enough price to pay for one of your smiles. I want your heart to practically burst with joy.""Funny. Beating my ass until it's red doesn't seem to jive with that," she teased."Really? Remind me, how hard did you come for me?""You are a beast sir, and hardly a gentleman at all, to ask me such a personal question.""Beast or gentleman, whatever it takes to make you happy, I'll gladly fill the role."She was quiet after that, holding me tight, while my hands caressed her sweet ass cheeks. "It's too much, Alex. You can't make yourself responsible for my happiness. It doesn't work that way.""Too late, beautiful. I'm a slave to your joy. Accept it."When she didn't answer, I continued our game. "Truth or truth, my morning Goddess.""Truth, B
In this episode, Parker J. Palmer and Carrie Newcomer explore May Sarton's poem, “An Observation.” Gardening is rich with metaphors for a well-lived life. Amend and prepare the soil. Plant the seeds, tend them, and weed out whatever impedes growth. Marvel at the process and share the harvest: we're here to feed one another as well as ourselves. “An Observation” offers a less obvious metaphor: a well-lived life needs to be both gentle and strong, tender and fierce. We hope you'll join us for this rich conversation!

This week on Cultivating Place, we hear the magical story of how two gardeners, separated by time, came together to grow all of our imaginations. May Sarton was a 20th—century writer known for her poetry, novels, and personal journals illuminating the landscape of the human heart and mind. She was also a lifelong and avid gardener. She spent the last 22 years of her life on the coast of Maine in a house and garden called Wild Knoll, now a part of the Surf Point Artist In Residence Program. Carly Glovinski is an artist working in a wide array of mediums that balance between craft, utility, and art. She joins us today to tell the story of how she helped reimagine May Sarton's former house site as a garden and to re-establish Sartons's extant gardens using Sarton's well-known journal “The House by the Sea” as her guide. It's an inspiring story of how we all existentially garden with one another in so many ways, entwined across time and space, and how we garden the past, present, and future simultaneously. Join us! Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place. We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations. The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloud, iTunes, Google Podcast, and Stitcher. To read more and for many more photos please visit www.cultivatingplace.com.

In space in time I sitThousands of feet aboveThe sea and meditateOn solitude on love Near all is brown and poorHouses are made of earthSun opens every doorThe city is a hearth Far all is blue and strangeThe sky looks down on snowAnd meets the mountain-rangeWhere time is light not shadow Time in the heart held stillSpace as the household godAnd joy instead of willKnows love as solitude Knows solitude as loveKnows time as light not shadowThousands of feet aboveThe sea where I am now BGM: Simon Wester - Hope

Hello to you listening in Bellows Falls, Vermont!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Maybe when it comes to setbacks and despair you're the impatient type: shake it off, get on with it, enough with waiting, let's move move move!But what if there's something to learn from Nature? What if there's a clue to show us a less stressful way to be in the middle of the muddle? “Does anything in nature despair except man? An animal with a foot caught in a trap does not seem to despair. It is too busy trying to survive. It is all closed in, to a kind of still, intense waiting. Is this a key? Keep busy with survival. Imitate the trees. Learn to lose in order to recover, and remember that nothing stays the same for long, not even pain, psychic pain. Sit it out. Let it all pass. Let it go.” [May Sarton]Practical Tip: Give it a go. See if “letting it go” is a fit for you to practice easier living in a stressful world.

Rosa Montero nació en Madrid. Es periodista, narradora, ensayista. Es prescriptora de libros, influencer, docente y tallerista. Prácticamente no hay género ni audiencias para las que Montero no haya escrito, lo que sumado al prestigio de su obra la convierte en una de las voces más poderosas y populares de la literatura en español. Ha publicado entre otros libros Crónica del desamor, Te trataré como a una reina, La hija del caníbal, La Loca de la casa; Historia del rey transparente; Instrucciones para salvar el mundo; la saga protagonizada por Bruna Husky compuesta hasta ahora por los títulos Lágrimas en la lluvia, El peso del corazón y Los tiempos del odio, La ridícula idea de no volver a verte, La carne y La buena suerte. Recientemente acaba de publicar El peligro de estar cuerda, un libro que en términos de género regresa a la senda híbrida de La loca de la casa y de La ridícula idea de no volver a verte en su cruce de investigación y ficción, y en este caso trata sobre dos cuestiones que se vinculan fogosamente: la enfermedad mental y la creatividad. A través de historias y curiosidades de grandes escritores y artistas que pasaron su vida al borde de lo que comunmente llamamos locura, Rosa Montero consigue hilar una apasionante galería de personajes tan brillantes como sufrientes.

In this episode, which originally aired on February 3rd, 2022, I reflect on some of the ideas presented in May Sarton's 1973 book, Journal of a Solitude. Themes discussed include writing, the artistic lifestyle, love and relationships, aging, suffering, the gifts of Nature, and of course, solitude. Sweet, sweet, precious solitude. But also the difficulties therein.
Hello to you listening in Liege, Belgium!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.May Sarton was the pen name of Eleanore Marie Sarton, a celebrated Belgian-American poet and novelist who made her mark on American literature with her witty style and eloquent word choices. She had this to say about solitude:“There is no doubt that solitude is a challenge and to maintain balance within it a precarious business. But I must not forget that, for me, being with people or even with one beloved person for any length of time without solitude is even worse. I lose my center. I feel dispersed, scattered, in pieces. I must have time alone in which to mull over my encounter, and to extract its juice, its essence, to understand what has really happened to me as a consequence of it.” [May Sarton]Question: When you take time for true solitude, what do you come away with?You're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!

In 1573, Thomas wrote his Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry, where he advised: In January, the housewife should be busy planting peas and beans and setting young rose roots. During March and April, she will work 'from morning to night, sowing and setting her garden or plot,' to produce the crops of parsnip, beans, and melons which will 'winnest the heart of a laboring man for her later in the year. Her strawberry plants will be obtained from the best roots which she has gathered from the woods, and these are to be set in a plot in the garden. Berries from these plants will be harvested later the same year, perhaps a useful back-up if the parsnips have failed to win the man of her dreams. 1941 During this week, Martha Crone, American botanist and horticulturist, wrote some entries in her Minneapolis diary that reflect the wild swings in temperatures that can be so frustrating to gardeners in the shoulder seasons. At the start of May: [The weather is] still very warm (81 hi 59 lo) and flowers coming out everywhere, everything at least 2 weeks in advance, like midsummer, many insects and flies out. Violets - never so beautiful - as well as Trillium and other flowers. On the 3rd of May: Bitter cold all day [49-41] stove going continuously... but no mosquitoes. On the 8th: Heat unbearable [88-60] On the 19th: Hottest so far... 1942 On this day, Charles Kikuchi wrote in his Japanese Tanforan Internment camp journal: These industrious Japanese! They just don't seem to know how to take it easy. They've worked so hard all their lives that they just can't stand idleness or waste . Two months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese Americans were mandated to relocate to one of the ten relocation camps in the “exclusion zone” of Oregon, California, western Washington, and southern Arizona by order of the president. Ken Helphand's fantastic 2006 book, Defiant Gardens: Making Gardens in Wartime, tells the story of the gardens that were created in the camps. The gardens were part of the effort to make the camps more bearable. In addition to gardens, there were orchards, parks, baseball diamonds, playgrounds, and farms. In Defiant Gardens, Ken wrote, Entry gardens were part of the Japanese tradition of dooryard gardens, linking household to community, and functioning as entry and marker, displaying the craft and skill of the resident and embellishing both the barracks and the community space....Many persons inscribed their names in cement at the doorstep. Barracks gardens displayed great variety, using gathered cacti and rocks, transplanted plants, and plants propagated in the camp nursery. While people waited daily for the communally served meals, they enjoyed the elaborate displays of great artistry and effort that characterized the mess-hall gardens. Created with rocks and water as well as plants, these gardens were most closely identified with the Japanese American garden tradition. All these gardens brought beauty to the camps and reinforced the internees' sense of cultural identity… 1946 On this day, Frida Kahlo (books about this person) gave a painting called Weeping Coconuts to her friends Lina and Arcady Boitler as a wedding gift. Frida used two weeping coconuts to represent her pain and deteriorating health in the painting. Frida was mixing prescription painkillers and alcohol by this point in her life. The coconuts were one of fifty-five self-portraits. Her best-known self-portrait is ‘Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird.' Kahlo said, I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best. Four years later, Frida's pain became unmanageable. In 1953, her right foot - and later right leg - were amputated. Frida died shortly after her 47th birthday in the summer of 1954. Before she died, she wrote in her journal: I hope the exit is joyful — and I hope never to return — Frida. Coconuts are an ancient plant that initially hailed from the South Pacific, and because of their buoyancy, coconuts can travel the world on the ocean's waves. Plant Explorers found the coconut growingng throughout the Pacific, the Indian Ocean regions, and Africa. Like mangoes, cashews, and cherries, the coconut is actually a drupe and not a nut. The drupe is an item that has a fleshy outer around a pit. Coconuts are anti-viral, fungal, bacterial, and anti-parasite. There are more than twenty billion coconuts produced each year. The coconut palm is actually the national tree of The Maldives. Before the dominance of soybean oil in the 1960s, Coconut oil was the world's leading vegetable oil. May 8th is National Coconut Creme Pie Day. Falling coconuts kill 150 people every year – 10 times the number of people killed by sharks. Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation Understanding Orchids by William Cullina This book came out in 2004, and the subtitle is An Uncomplicated Guide to Growing the World's Most Exotic Plants. Well, I myself have become an orchid lover and an orchid fan. They're my favorite plant to send to a family member for a birthday or an anniversary because they last so long, and now because orchids cost as much as the bouquet. I often opt to send an orchid instead of a bouquet of fresh-cut flowers. As a little bonus for me, some of my family members will actually bring me the orchid after it's bloomed. And then I get the honor of taking care of repotting it and getting it healthy and ready to go again so that it will bloom again - hopefully on their next birthday or anniversary. And so that's what I love to do - take care of orchids after they've bloomed. But you know, orchids are a little bit of a mystery to many, many gardeners. So if you haven't gone down the orchid path yet, but you're on the edge, and you want to become more skilled in the area of orchids will, then William Cullina's book is the perfect guide for you. William knows what it's like to be in your shoes. He writes at the end of his introduction, I still get that spine-tingling toe-tickling feeling of, wow that hooked me at the beginning. And if you're just starting out with orchids, you are in for quite an adventure. Learning to grow orchids and understand their idiosyncrasies is a true journey. The sheer number of orchid species estimates range between 25 and 40,000, including hybrids means that there will always be something new to learn something new to explore. And then he writes this incredible fact. You could start acquiring an orchid a day when you were 20 years old and still not have grown them all when you turned 80 and there is no other family of plants that offers such incredible diversity. Before I close out this review, I'll just say that the first part of William's book covers all the basics of orchids. Next, William gives an excellent overview of an area that people often struggle with: how to care for orchids. How do they like to be watered? What should you do about fertilization? How should you pot them? If you're going to Mount them? How does that happen? Then William talks about what to do if you have a pest or disease issue with your orchid. Then, if you are getting into next-level orchid growing, William will be your guy to introduce you to reproduction. He'll tell you how to hand-pollinate and propagate and hybridize orchids. And there will be no mystery to any of this. William is very clear through every page of his book. Finally, William wraps things up with a look at over a hundred of the most popular orchids to get you on your way and to get you thinking about what you want on your orchid wishlist. This book is 272 pages of orchids by an orchid lover - for orchid lovers - or for people thinking about becoming orchid lovers.

Botanic Spark 1912 Birth of May Sarton (books by this author), Belgian-American writer and poet. In Nelson, New Hampshire, May's tiny home was her happy place. She had a garden that she loved and cared for many houseplants. She once wrote these relatable garden witticisms: I am not a greedy person except about flowers and plants, and then I become fanatically greedy. In her seventies, May reflected, A garden is always a series of losses set against a few triumphs, like life itself. Still, May could not help striving for the glory of success when it came to her garden. Living a mostly simple life, May's garden was the one place she dreamed big. What a relief it was to me when I read that Vita Sackville-West kept a pile of metal labels in a shack at Sissinghurst as proof of all the experiments that had failed! Finally, some of May's thoughts on gardening are prayerlike: Help us to be ever faithful gardeners of the spirit, who know that without darkness nothing comes to birth, and without light nothing flowers. and Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace. Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.
Today is the birthday of poet, novelist, and memoirist May Sarton, born in Belgium in 1912.
Ahora me convierto en mí. Llevó tiempo, muchos años y lugares; me disolví y me sacudí, usé caras ajenas, dispares, como loca corrí, como si el Tiempo estuviera allí, terrible y antiguo, amenazante: Apurate, te vas a morir antes - (¿De qué? ¿De alcanzar la mañana? ¿De ver el final del poema? ¿De que el amor quede a salvo entre murallas?) Ahora, estar quieta, estar acá, ¡sentir mi propio peso y densidad! La sombra negra en el papel es mi mano; la sombra de una palabra como el pensamiento forma a la que forma, cae pesado sobre la hoja, se escucha. Ahora todo se fusiona, cae en su lugar del deseo a la acción, la palabra al silencio, mi trabajo, mi amor, mi tiempo, mi cara reunidos en un gesto intenso de crecer como una planta. Tan lento como la fruta madura fértil, desprendida y siempre plena, cae pero no consume la raíz, así el poema entero es, puede dar, crece en mí para ser canción, hecha así y enraizada en amor. Ahora hay tiempo y el Tiempo es joven. En este mismo momento vivo todo lo que soy y no me muevo. Yo, la perseguida, la que corrió con locura, me detengo, me detengo y ¡freno al sol! Traducción: Alina Mateos Horrisberger

Debra and I discuss how her book, featuring two sisters from Mexico who cross the border illegally to find their father, avoided the controversy that enveloped American Dirt through her attention to authenticity, her background with immigrant groups, and her use of well-vetted sensitivity experts. Another highlight of Debra's writing journey with Luz was winning Story Circle's Sarton Book Award for Contemporary Fiction, since its namesake May Sarton wrote Journal of a Solitude, a touchstone of Debra's since its publication in 1973. Luz was also named the 2020 Next Generation Indie Book Award for Multicultural Fiction. Originally from Binghamton, New York, Debra has lived in Southern California most of her adult life. She taught literature and writing at James Monroe High School, a Los Angeles public school, and English as a Second Language (ESL) to adults from all over the world. Her work as an immigrant and refugee rights advocate led her to write Luz. A lover of all creatures great and small, when she isn't with her two horses, she is relaxing with her husband and little dog, watching all the birds and critters that visit her backyard feeders. She is currently at work on her second novel to be published Spring 2023. To learn more about Debra, click here.
In this episode Carrie and Parker discuss May Sarton's powerful poem, "The Angels & The Furies." In this conversation we talk about the angels and furies of our nature. In these times when many of us are wrestling with what to do with our furies in life giving ways, what does it mean to be "perfectly human but never perfect"? How do we also incline our heads and notice where the graces of our lives appear and support our own better angels? And finally, how do we balance the both/and of our lives.
In Episode 1, we open our lives to the poem 'Now I Become Myself', by May Sarton. Using this poem as our key, we're joined by our friend Robert to discuss the journey of becoming who we really are, how the perception of who we are evolves over time, and how our relationship to time itself has changed as we ripen with age. If you've ever wondered how this mysterious process of becoming your true self really happens, we reveal all the secrets previously hidden from the universe - Well, at least we try to!
It's Episode 50! And our First Anniversary! (Which means we've been doing this for a year and we're not so good at math.) Thank you to everyone who has listened over the last year! We truly love this community of gardeners, friends and stewards of the planet. To celebrate, we share are a few of our favorite moments from the year: From the silly - shredded tweet and Salvadore Dilly, to the profound - May Sarton's quote about gardening, we've got you covered. We fill in between the two, revisiting little bird buttholes, a deep confession from Christy, and the story of a man who cooked a smoked turkey into a salt lick. From the sacred - an homage to the gift of the Magi - to the profane - what an irritated telemarketer called Edith. And we've got an entirely new podplay of the Old Woman Who Lived In a Shoe. What sets her off and has her calling out the artillery? Plus, we sprinkle in a few gardening tips and tricks along the way. Enjoy! Support UDT by joining our Garden Party and get fun rewards!

Important Events May 3, 1904 Today is the birthday of the naturalist and conservationist Charles Joseph Sauriol. An esteemed son of Toronto, Charles worked to preserve natural areas in Canada. He was primarily devoted to the forests and waterways of Ontario, including his beloved Don River Valley - where his family had a cottage. Even as a teenager, Charles loved the Don, writing in an unpublished manuscript: “The perfume I liked was the smell of a wood fire.... The dance floor I knew best was a long carpet of Pine needles.” In 1927 Charles purchased the 40-hectare property at the Forks of the Don, which would become his second home. The Sauriol family cottage became the place that Charles and his wife and their four children would stay over the long months of the summer. Life at the cottage was elemental and straightforward. Charles tapped the maple trees for syrup and kept beehives near his cottage. The family also had ducks, a goat, and a pet raccoon named Davy, who followed Charles around like a dog. Charles wrote: “In the '20s and 30s, entire slopes of the East Don Valley...were carpeted with flowering trilliums in the spring. It was an unforgettable sight… A woodland without wildflowers is as empty and desolate in some respects as a community without children." During 2018 the Toronto Archives shared many of Charles’s charming diary entries on their Twitter feed. The Toronto Archives is the repository for the Charles Sauriol record and it consists of diaries, manuscripts, subject files, and over 3,000 photos. Charles kept a lifelong diary. At the Don cottage, Charles created a little woodland garden. Many of his diary entries share his gardening adventures and philosophies on plants, like this one from 1938: "I find it hard to come in from the flower borders. My Pansies are a garden of enchantment in themselves. People who love Pansies should grow them from seed. I took the advice, and I have never had such a profusion of bloom and of so many colors." and "One particular toad has taken quite a fancy to the Wild Flower garden. His den is alongside the Hepatica plant. There he sits, half-buried, and blinks up at me while I shower water on him." At the end of his first summer at the cottage in Don Valley, Charles wrote about leaving the place he loved so much: With summer’s heat, the weeks sped by, And springtime streams did all but dry. But days grew short and followed on, Oh, blissful memory of the Don. Of you, we think with saddened heart, Our time is up, and we must part. Today the annual Charles Sauriol Leadership Award recognizes people who make lasting contributions to conservation. May 3, 1912 Today is the birthday of the prolific writer and poet May Sarton. She came out in 1965 after her parents died. The decision impacted her career. May’s writing centers on our humanity, our relationships with ourselves and others, our values, and mindfulness. In a 1983 profile in The New York Times, May said, “I make people think, 'I have flowers in my house, why don't I look at them?' The thing that is peaceful for me is that I feel I have helped people. I'm constantly told, 'You've said the things I've wanted to say.'” Margaret Roach writes about discovering May Sarton this way: “She actually came to my attention thanks to two men, at different times in my life. I might have missed her altogether if not for a one-two punch by Sydney Schanberg, an ex-New York Times colleague who, thirty-odd years ago, offhandedly said, “You would like May Sarton,” and then years later my therapist gave me “Journal of a Solitude”... They knew that the natural world, and specifically the garden, called to me, as it did Sarton.” May wrote : “A garden is always a series of losses set against a few triumphs, like life itself.” May’s tiny home in Nelson, New Hampshire, was her happy place. She had a garden which she loved, and she cared for many houseplants. She once wrote these relatable garden witticisms: “I am not a greedy person except about flowers and plants, and then I become fanatically greedy.” “True gardeners cannot bear a glove Between the sure touch and the tender root.” And some of her thoughts on gardening are prayerlike: “Help us to be ever faithful gardeners of the spirit, who know that without darkness nothing comes to birth, and without light nothing flowers.” “Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace.” Unearthed Words The seasonal urge is strong in poets. Milton wrote chiefly in winter. Keats looked for spring to wake him up (as it did in the miraculous months of April and May 1819). Burns chose autumn. Longfellow liked the month of September. Shelley flourished in the hot months. Some poets, like Wordsworth, have gone outdoors to work. Others, like Auden, keep to the curtained room. Schiller needed the smell of rotten apples about him to make a poem. Tennyson and Walter de la Mare had to smoke. Auden drinks lots of tea, Spender coffee; Hart Crane drank alcohol. Pope, Byron, and William Morris were creative late at night. And so it goes. ― Helen Bevington, American poet, prose author, and educator, When Found, Make a Verse of Grow That Garden Library Half Baked Harvest Super Simple by Tieghan Gerard This book came out in October of 2019, and the subtitle is More Than 125 Recipes for Instant, Overnight, Meal-Prepped, and Easy Comfort Foods: A Cookbook.

Two years ago, the Regina community garden received a $90,000 grant from Federated Co-op. Grow Regina wanted to add a gazebo to the community garden for many years. The garden is a unique space in that it offered the community a place to grow and a place to admire art. The garden features a variety of art pieces, including two massive sculptures installed in August of 2010 that frame the entrance to the garden by local artist Victor Cicansky. Gardens have been a consistent theme in Victor’s life. His 2019 memoir, Up From Garlic Flats, is set in the east end of the community in Regina, Saskatchewan. Victor’s father came from Romania, and his Romanian ancestors were gardeners. To Victor, the garden is a place of endless inspiration. Much of Victor’s work features garden tools like shovels and spades, along with aspects of nature like roots and trees. Victor even incorporates garden imagery from fruit, vegetables, and canning jars in his creations. An article featured in the Regina Post from June 2019 said one of Victor’s pieces called “Compost Shovel” featured, “A gigantic blue ceramic shovel covered in vegetables, eggshells, and soil.” Today, the installation of the gazebo today marks the beginning of a new chapter for the garden. Once the install is completed later this week, the gazebo will host numerous functions. And to give you an idea of how beautiful Victor's artistic gazebo is: Imagine a gazebo that has sculpted trees with branches for support beams and a canopy of leaves for a roof. And then the railing of the gazebo features the garden harvest - all kinds of vegetables. Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."
It’s the birthday of poet, novelist, and memoirist May Sarton (1912). Her memoir “Journal of a Solitude” (1973) has been called “the watershed in women’s autobiography.”
Today's meditation comes from The Gospel Of Luke in The New Testament, and from the writings of May Sarton.
Join Heidi and Ellen they welcome Taurus, the sign of art and beauty and manifesting tangible results. They start off by talking the upcoming Academy Awards (a perfect Taurean show and one of Ellen's favorites!). This month is a time of reinvention for Taurus people with Uranus moving through their signs. With the Sun, Mercury and Venus all moving through Taurus this month, electricity abounds..The esoteric phrase for Taurus is ‘I see and when the eye is opened, all is illumined'. Your garden will grow but prepare yourself for some surprises. They also talk about the birthdays of many Taurean writers and poets, including William Shakespeare, Charlotte Bronte, Adrienne Rich, May Sarton and Harper Lee.
Heidi welcomes Taurus by exploring the life and work of Belgian-American poet, May Sarton! May authored over 53 books in her lifetime! She was a Taurus Sun, Sagittarius Sun and Sagittarius Moon.

Ethics and Etiquette is a thought-provoking discussion about everyday dilemmas. This week we take time to reflect on the strange and unsettling 2020. We talk about what’s become clear to us during this time, and we finish our second season by acknowledging the winners this year (hint: Plexiglass and Zoom, to name two). Mentioned in this episode: The book How to Break Up With Your Phone: The 30-Day Plan to Take Back Your Life by Catherine Price https://www.amazon.com/How-Break-Up-Your-Phone/dp/039958112X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1S4W8DN57DUG3&dchild=1&keywords=how+to+break+up+with+your+phone&qid=1608678259&sprefix=how+to+break+up+with%2Caps%2C163&sr=8-1 This is the actual quotation by May Sarton which Marna mangled: “It always comes back to the same necessity: go deep enough and there is a bedrock of truth, however hard.” ― May Sarton A video by Ethics and Etiquette about the blessings from this unique moment in history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPRNaEl-3SQ Tim Ferris Show Podcast. The step-by-step way to conduct a Past Year Review. https://tim.blog/2018/12/28/past-year-review/?utm_source=convertkit&utm_medium=convertkit&utm_campaign=5bf “My train of thought makes all the stops.” Marna first heard this quote spoken by Steven Tyler of Aerosmith on a radio show in 2012. We’re sad to report that Tucker, the elderly dog Mike mentioned, died at age 14 on December 15, 2020. RIP, Tucker. The Ethics and Etiquette podcast panel is made up of author and host Marna Ashburn; wife, mother, and attorney Kelly Halligan Zimmerman; and Mike Derrick, a retired Army Officer, combat vet, and father of four. Our goal is to offer you insights and perspectives on sticky situations so you can better examine your choices and exercise your own ethical muscles.

“We have to be ourselves, however frightening we prove to be” said by May Sarton and co-signed by Camille Joy. This episode explains how important it is for us to define ourselves by our thoughts, actions, decisions, and character rather than our role or results because those things can be taken away from us at any moment yet we can always control how we think, act, decide, and show up. Camille Joy shares a story of how a series of work, family, and role transitions led her to finding another version of herself and then finding her partner. She believes that cultivating the best version of yourself will allow you to cultivate your best environment through relationships that mirror the self you curate intentionally. May everyday feel like your birthday because you can celebrate another day you have to become the best you. Affirmations: 1) My wise self guides me safely in my current path 2) I release anxiety and embrace peace and calm
This week on The Literary Life podcast, our hosts Angelina Stanford, Cindy Rollins and Thomas Banks continue their series on George MacDonald’s Phantastes, covering chapters 10-14. Angelina and Thomas open the book chat talking about disorientation and how MacDonald is using the mirror images to help us enter into Anados’ feelings. Some of the topics covered in these chapters are disenchantment and demystifying the world, the child of mysterious origin, seeing and not seeing, romanticism and the dark imagination. Don’t forget to check out the Advent and Christmas resources our hosts have ready for your holiday season. As mentioned before, Cindy’s new edition of Hallelujah: Cultivating Advent Traditions with Handel’s Messiah is available now, and you can access the replay of her special live event if you visit her website.

Also, Thomas and Angelina have a sale going on for an Advent Bundle of their popular webinars, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and The Poetry of Advent. Additionally, Kelly Cumbee will be teaching a webinar series called “Seeking the Discarded Image: Nature.” Commonplace Quotes: He extended the boundaries of the world, but he never shifted its center. Alfred Noyes "Absolute attention is prayer." When May Sarton quoted those words of Simone Weil in her journal, she went on to say, "I have used that sentence often in talking about poetry to students, to suggest that if one looks long enough at almost anything, looks with absolute attention at a flower, a stone, the bark of a tree, grass, snow, a cloud, something like revelation takes place. Something is given." Simone Weil, May Sarton, Esther de Waal For repose is not the end of education; its end is a noble unrest, an ever renewed awaking from the dead, a ceaseless questioning of the past for the interpretation of the future, an urging on the motions of life, which had better far be accelerated into fever, then retarded into lethargy. George MacDonald The Palm and the Pine by Heinrich Heine Beneath an Indian palm a girl Of other blood reposes; Her cheek is clear and pale as pearl Amid that wild of roses. Beside a northern pine a boy Is leaning fancy-bound. Nor listens where with noisy joy Awaits the impatient hound. Cool grows the sick and feverish calm, Relaxed the frosty twine.– The pine-tree dreameth of the palm, The palm-tree of the pine. As soon shall nature interlace Those dimly-visioned boughs, As these young lovers face to face Renew their early vows.

"One must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being." –the late poet May Sarton, born this day in 1912
“The body is a universe in itself and must be held as sacred as anything in creation…”, - May Sarton. Everyone has four universes which are body, mind, soul and spirit. These human universes are connected in between that support and balance each other. A pitfall of one can cause a damage to the entire system. All universes are collectively important because they work together as a complete balance of human existence, as one power, as one source, as one ultimate energy. It’s very crucial to acknowledge your human universes to be able to grow, explore, and live the life to its full potential. In this episode we will discuss the “Body” universe, what powers it has, why it is important and how to improve it to its best. In this Episode, you will: Learn about four universes of a humanLearn about “Body” universe in detailUnderstand the important of each universeLearn about the inner and outer power of “Body” universeGet recommendations on how to improve your “Body” universe Yours truly,Aida
Weekly JourneywithJesus.net postings, read by Debie Thomas. Essay by Debie Thomas: *Where the Wind Blows* for Sunday, 8 March 2020; book review by Brad Keister: *The Square and the Tower: Networks and Power, from the Freemasons to Facebook* by Niall Ferguson (2017); film review by Dan Clendenin: *Snow to Sand* (2018); poem selected by Dan Clendenin: *Now I Become Myself* by May Sarton.
At 82, May Sarton “made a dialogue out of what had been a soliloquy,” in her journal. On this entry of Open Stacks, we take the measure of our days in diaries and diaristic units of shared sense in conversations with Kathryn Scanlan and Devin Johnston. This episode was produced by Veronica Karlin and Jackson Roach, and features music by Kevin MacLeod, Daniel Birch, Gallery Six, and Andrei Pohorelsky. Special thanks to Co-op booksellers Adam Stern and Fred Tadrowski.
Solitude is not a retreat from the world, but a way for us to regenerate our soul's batteries. In this episode, Rachel addresses the topic of solitude—why so many of us are averse to it and how we can improve our mind, body, and spirit with regular time alone.Music:"Ave Marimba"Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

“You choose to be a novelist but you’re chosen to be a poet. This is a gift and it’s a tremendous responsibility.” –May Sarton, born this day in 1912
Let's start down the Christmas trail (again compliments of www.QuoteGarden.com – formatting omitted) with a tradition from Betsy Cañas Garmon's family. She sits with her husband in a room lit only by tree lights and wants us to remember that our blessings outnumber the lights. Happy Christmas to all. Thomas Tusser also has advice for the season. At Christmas play and make good cheer, for Christmas comes but once a year. Lenora Mattingly Weber is here as well to focus our perspective. Christmas is for children. But it is for grown-ups too. Even if it is a headache, a chore, and nightmare, it is a period of necessary defrosting of chill and hide-bound hearts. Sing hey! Sing hey! For Christmas Day; Twine mistletoe and holly. For a friendship glows In winter snows, And so let's all be jolly! No one is quite sure who first said it but there's little doubt that we can all give it a hey! hey! of our own. Gertrude Tooley Buckingham is joining in, Christmas is coming; it is almost here! With Santa and presents, good will and cheer! Now that may be even better than one of those Hey! heys! In steps the realist to keep us from getting too carried away. Oh, for the good old days when people would stop Christmas shopping when they ran out of money. It's not surprising that no one takes credit for that one. Fortunately, May Sarton is here to keep us on the Christmas rails, I can understand people simply fleeing the mountainous effort Christmas has become but there are always a few saving graces and finally they make up for all the bother and distress.

Fortunately, May Sarton is here to keep us on the Christmas rails, I can understand people simply fleeing the mountainous effort Christmas has become but there are always a few saving graces and finally they make up for all the bother and distress. Dinah Maria Mulock is also here for us and for are sense of good will, It is the Christmas time: And up and down 'twixt heaven and earth, In glorious grief and solemn mirth, The shining angels climb. Fail not to call to mind, in the course of the twenty-fifth of this month, that the Divinest Heart that ever walked the earth was born on that day; and then smile and enjoy yourselves for the rest of it; for mirth is also of Heaven's making. Thank you Leigh Hunt, that certainly brings the full spirit of Christmas into focus for us. John Kendrick Bangs sharpens our focus as well, Whose heart doth hold the Christmas glow Hath little need of Mistletoe; Who bears a smiling grace of mien Need waste no time on wreaths of green; Whose lips have words of comfort spread Needs not the holly-berries red. His very presence scatters wide The spirit of the Christmastide. You may think it was Charlie Brown who said, The perfect Christmas tree? All Christmas trees are perfect! but it was actually Charles N Barnard. Even so, it's so true. Let's give Edgar Guest a chance to get in his two cents worth, At Christmas a man is at his finest towards the finish of the year; He is almost what he should be when the Christmas season's here; Then he's thinking more of others than he's thought the months before, And the laughter of his children is a joy worth toiling for. He is less a selfish creature than at any other time; When the Christmas spirit rules him he comes close to the sublime. Woops, that pesky author unknown is butting in again with another dose of reality, Christmas is the season when you buy this year's gifts with next year's money. Eric Sevareid puts us back on track though, As long as we know in our hearts what Christmas ought to be, Christmas is. Bob Hope expands on the point, When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things — not the great occasions — give off the greatest glow of happiness. D D Monroe is also on board with the sentiment, It is the one season of the year when we can lay aside all gnawing worry, indulge in sentiment without censure, assume the carefree faith of childhood, and just plain "have fun." Whether they call it Yuletide, Noel, Weinachten, or Christmas, people around the earth thirst for its refreshment as the desert traveller for the oasis. Okay Benny Hill, go ahead,

Hi guys! Today I'm feeling physically better today than I have since March, so I figured I need to say hello while I have a little energy. Not my best podcast, but I've missed this. And I've missed you. Times are rough, my body hates me, the world is in turmoil, but that's why we read and share and watch Amanda Bynes movies. In other words, we are not painting only fans at the moment. I love you guys. Hopefully this improvement will last. And I'm wishing you well as always.

In the midst of a busy week I look around me and discover, with surprise, what my work is, and isn't; The delight of meeting and becoming friends with my muse, May Sarton.
May Sarton and F.M. Mayor go up against each other, and we chat about whether or not we want to meet our favourite authors (living or dead!) Our episodes are getting a little more sporadic as we’re doing more
A rare snowfall; waiting for anxiety to pass before recording; May Sarton, solitude vs. loneliness; The past is like the ocean. More...
A noisy week with workmen in the house made it a week before this podcast!; Living with bi polar disorder and med changes, moving through times of adjustment; a new little pug is coming from Mid Atlantic Pug Rescue to Dragonfly Cottage, a little 5 year old girl Delilah, AND a little singing! The songs I've come up with so far to welcome the wee girl; thoughts from reading May Sarton and Colette; and more...
Returning to my deep work, writing, solitude and silence; new blog posts every weekday; Every Wednesday a special "Tea With Maitri" post (And check the archives on the right-hand side as only the recent post shows up.) and revising and preparing for publication my book Tea Mind, Be Kind; Listening to TedTalks with Gala Darling, Jonathan Fields, Eleanor Longden, and Temple Grandin; Working with my mentor, SARK, on my new book, Tending Grace; and remembering my mentor, muse and friend, May Sarton.
In the fog of new medication; more on Bi Polar balance; alternating the work of head and hands; My creative lineage ~ Gladys Taber, May Sarton and Tasha Tudor; creating a life and work that is all of a piece; living outside the box.
A slow day and a late podcast but the first one with an actual headset recorded directly onto the computer. I share with you what it means to move through one of the hard days, and the transcendent experiences that can occur as well as my friendship with the writer May Sarton. And I laugh as I write this because while the podcast DID indeed go much better than on the phone, toward the end you can hear tiny Penny pug who was in my lap doing the little puggy snore very faintly in the background. This is real life folks. Never a dull moment at Dragonfly Cottage!

(Opening words adapted from “Out of the Flames” by Sara Eileen LaWall; includes a poem by May Sarton, and concludes with music - Romance by Shostakovich.)
