S6E85: Morning Time for Moms, Part 4, with Christina Baehr
That each thing is a word
“Credo” by James Phillip McAuley
Requiring us to speak it;
From the ant to the quasar,
From clouds to ocean floor-
The meaning not ours, but found
In the mind deeply submissive
To the grammar of existence,
The syntax of the real;
So that alien is changed
To human, thing into thinking:
For the world’s bare tokens
We pay golden coin,
Stamped with the king’s image;
And poems are prophecy
Of a new heaven and earth,
A rumour of resurrection

I’d love to listen to this episode, but unfortunately it cuts to the end after only about 20 mins! I’ve tried it on Apple Podcasts and from your website and it does the same each time. Please let us know when this is fixed. Thank you!
