Missed the live stream, then had to wait for an uninterrupted hour...so well worth the wait, Jesse. "The world and the word" were well celebrated. And what a fascinating hour. I'm

still spinning from the flower music and mushroom magic. That was a lovely way to close the

"session". Now that the rain here has stopped, I'll head down to the creek in the bottom woods with a fresh perspective of the life force beneath my feet. Thanks, Jesse.

Thank you Jesse, that was a beautiful session, you mentioned so many people and things that I love like TS Eliot and mushrooms and trees.

The meditation was so relaxing too, oh, and the candle reminded me of my old yoga classes, which I always loved, like incense. Thanks again for your video session :)x

Sending you much love and gratitude for including Movement Rights. May we all do what we can to remember how to live in reciprocity, harmony, and balance within the sacred system of life of which we are a tiny part.

Thank you so much for sharing your feelings about spring, Jesse. I could not believe just how relatable what you were saying was. It's like I could hear myself talking. It's okay to stay in winter for a while longer and take our time to transition. I'm infinitely grateful to have stumbled on this today.

It's my pleasure, it comes from the heart! It is incredibly comforting to know we are not alone :) I wish I could add cute emojis, but I'm writing from my laptop! I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

Sending love from Montreal.

We celebrate World Book Day in March! How is it that WORLD book day has different dates across the world? Regardless, I loved the live and your guest. That Pesoa poem is one of the best I've heard. Not familiar with it at all. Thank you for championing poetry, poems and poets Jesse!

Hiii! There are two dates because the original UNESCO date April 23 conflicted with holidays in UK , so they changed/added it jsut for UK/ireland, so now there 2 and that’s just fine! Two days for books :) πŸ“š

Coincides with St George’s Day I guess who is the saint patron of England. I had no idea that there were other dates. New things learnt every day!

I see! I’ve not come across it anywhere else really. In the UK it’s mostly celebrated in schools with children that’s how I became aware of it. Generous indeed! Books and writing is a big deal in primary education over here, so I guess it made sense to change it. Thank you again this was so useful to know as I was wondering why. πŸ™πŸ»

Good Morning Jesse, I was hoping you'd post this as I missed the first few minutes of it, thank you for doing so. Really enjoyed your live broadcast, thanks for letting us partake of the event and for introducing us/me to Tarun, very nice guy.

I'm with you on the transition from winter to spring, its a palpable thing and I do feel the pressure to be outside doing yard work & planting etc. Probably the reason why I love rainy gloomy foreboding raw days...no yard work! Lol.

Thanks again, that was a blast! ;o)

It was fun and very, very interesting πŸŒ±πŸŒ·πŸŒ±πŸŒ·πŸ€— Thank you also for sharing all the links and resources, I will go through them later today 😍 Today Italian television (in the news) aired your mom's so beautiful and touching song for Pope Francis 'These are the words' ❀️ and a footage of their meeting 🀝 in St Peter's square. Thank you so much for everything. Lots of love to you πŸ’•πŸ’• and everyone here. I ordered Viva la Poesia today. πŸ’šπŸŒ·πŸ•ŠοΈ

Yay we have the recording:) I think I have the Substack gremlins that thwarted my viewings of your live videos at bay now via customer support. Great to see Tarun on here too - I have followed his work on Instagram for quite a while, intriguing.
