#7 - A poem to look death in the eye
In this episode, I read - "Six Cheerful Couplets on Death" by Michael Blumenthal. This has been a hard week with the situation under lockdown not improving much here in Mumbai, and then the passing of two cinema legends. It forced me to explore our reaction to sad news, and our response to personal sadness. Do you gravitate toward undoing sadness or do you accept it with grace, find comfort in the opposite of happiness, as a counterpoint in your life? Listen in, the poem helps make sense of death. We all die differently, but we are dead all the same. I read from the website of Amit Varma's India Uncut here - https://indiauncut.com/six-cheerful-couplets-on-death/ The host, Ravneet Bawa as - @one_third_above on Instagram @maikeya on Twitter Email: ravneet_bawa@icloud.com Disclaimer: This podcast is created for sharing with friends and family, and only as a passion project amidst the Covid lockdown with no commercial interest.
