The Drop off Point & Gravity and Grace

Hello,

This is the first podcast episode where I talk about “the drop off point” and Gravity and Grace by Simone Weil.

& a poem as a little treat

Key

Sometimes you can keep a sentence in your pocket 
for three seasons 
and not know what it means. 
Then it is winter and you are at your desk
with a real candle chandelier lit 
from your summer job at the vintage store you lived on top of. 
A gift from your boss
that would berate you like a father
and who you would ignore like a daughter 
until he offered you pasta bolognese that he made at home. 
An offering to the altar of apology 
like fruit on a plate 
that requires only an acceptance to wash the whole thing over. 
After all this, 
after spring, summer and fall, 
you will be at your desk 
in another apartment
and the sentence that you have been clutching 
for three seasons,
will be the key you needed 
to open the room 
you have been pacing outside of. 

She is in the exact same position as I write this.

Talk soon!
