Spring at Last!
Spring has come at last to my little corner of the world. To celebrate, I’m reading one of my favorite spring poems, “Instructions on Not Giving Up,” by Ada Limón, 24th Poet Laureate of the United States. This poem is such a gift to our tattered and torn world. I hope it does for you what it did for me.

So beautiful, Liz. I loved its strength and determination, and its assurance of renewal. A lovely reading.

Thank you, Diana. As soon as I first came across the poem, I knew I wanted to share it with others by reading it aloud. (I don’t have enough superlatives to do it justice in a description. I had to read it.)

I could tell. There’s something healing about it.
