Julie reads a poem by Susan Reid, Margaret Youngberg reads a poem by Emily Dickinson, and Ben Williams reads a poem by Anna Akhmatova. This winter, we can put conscious energy into finding the wonderful good things of the season, despite our current isolation. This is the time of winter, after the holidays, when I crack open the first mason jar of tomatoes from the garden that I put up back in August. It tastes like summer in a bottle and reminds me that the warmth of summer will come back. But first, to hunker down and stay safe and keep our hearts and hearths aglow the best we can. Take care, everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Episode Notes<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<p>1. Winter Snow \/ Never Go Astray \/ Lion\u2019s Mane &#8211; Jeremiah McLane (Sharon, VT).

Read by Julie Vallimont (Brattleboro, VT). &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Courage &#8211; Cindy Kallet (Bloomington, IN). Cindy Kallet wrote the verses to this song, but the words to the chorus came directly from an e-mail sent to her by Grey Larsen, at a time when life was especially challenging for both of them. It was recorded on their duo album, <em>Cross the Water<\/em>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cindykallet.com\">www.cindykallet.com<\/a> &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. <em>I taste a liquor never brewed<\/em>, by Emily Dickinson.

This track is on <em>More, Please!<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/eloiseandco.bandcamp.com\">https:\/\/eloiseandco.bandcamp.com<\/a> &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. <em>I taught myself to live simply<\/em>, by Anna Akhmatova.

Rachel writes, \u201cThis ancient song by Hildegard von Bingen was arranged for string quartet by Lisa Goddard. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, each member of Cardamom Quartet recorded their part separately from home &#8211; and this special arrangement allowed them to play &#8220;together&#8221; without the use of a click track.\u201d Check out the video Lisa produced. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xumOD3tdkR0\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xumOD3tdkR0<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cardamomquartet.com\/\">http:\/\/www.cardamomquartet.com\/<\/a> &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The opening music is \u201cThe Pearl in Sorrow\u2019s Hand\u201d by Julie Vallimont, from her album Dark Sky, Bright Stars.
