☀️ The Daily Boost #873
How to be a person
The Daily Boost (published weekdays) is one of the newsletters of The Raft, the online community of author Phyllis Cole-Dai. We Rafters ride the river of life buoyed by music, poetry, and other arts, along with open spiritual practice. Most everything here is free, but patrons (paid subscribers) get some special perks as a gesture of gratitude.
This is a spoken word poem for which I’ve found no transcription. However, this alternative video presents one transcriber’s version of the text.
(My thanks to poet Shane Koyczan via The Short Story Long.)
