What?! No inaugural poet at today's inauguration?

Allow me to share some of my favorite poetic lines....

Join Rain in celebrating mindfulness, inner wisdom, and the joy of being in a powerful guided meditation designed to help you connect deeply with your breath, your body sensations, and your emotions. This guided meditation encourages awareness and acceptance of feelings, fostering a compassionate relationship with your inner self. Discover and follow the wisdom within, and allow creativity to inspire new solutions in your life. Embrace the present moment, and unlock the worlds of knowledge within you.

In this episode of Every Moment Is Sacred, host Rain Elizabeth Stickney blends the significance of the 47th presidential inauguration and Martin Luther King Jr. Day with poetry and guided meditation. Rain reflects on the absence of a poet at the inauguration by honoring past inaugural poets and shares inspiring quotes from John Lewis and Mary Oliver. The episode then transitions to a meditative practice focusing on awareness, emotion, and creativity. Listeners are also invited to a Stillwater Meditation retreat in Vermont.
