On today's episode of the Learning to Fly podcast I shared the poems: "When the Bough Breaks" by Andrea Gibson, "Lady Lazarus" by Sylvia Plath, "The Soul has  Bandaged Moments" by Emily Dickenson, "The Backyard Mermaid" by Matthea Harvey, "Little Stones at my Window" by Mario Benedetti, and finally "How I am" by Jason Shinder. I hope that you'll listen to today's episode with care and as always take the time and space you need for yourself as we navigate these heavy topics - but also I encourage you to share this episode on your social media accounts and with your loved ones because today's episode is one of the more important ones I can put together. World Mental Health day is observed for this very reason - to encourage conversation, growth and a deeper understanding of what we as a global society actually need to help each other heal and develop and grow.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sincerelybluejaypoetry/message
