Lyric Life

Winter is too often seen as a curse. It's certainly a curse in Texas while I'm recording this episode. But it's also thought a curse too often where I live in rural New England. But it doesn't have to be. How do you practice gratitude when you don't know what your grateful for? Or to whom? Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as I explore this gorgeous, evocative poem by Dayna Patterson about winter, a mother-to-mother poem, in which "thank you" is a repeated refrain to "our lady of snow forts," the one who makes winter possible. I found this poem in the magazine Literary Mama. Please check out the magazine https://literarymama.com/ (here).
