Thank you once again Jackie and Amy! Such a beautiful offering. I needed this so much in this time when the world, our country, and our knitting community seems to be in angst. I must admit I have been feeling a great deal of disappointment and struggling to see the “good” in our human experience. It was so comforting to be reminded to be present and yet step back far enough to see the ocean carving the granite rock, to feel the holding of the moon, to step back 10,000 light years and know everything is made of the same cosmic stardust. Blessings!
Even if my English isn't that good... it's just a gift to listen to you. Thank you for your poem, about the moon. I feel the same. So often I look at the moon and think it is everywhere in the world, seen by everyone. Who will be looking up at the moon at this moment, what thoughts will be sent to the moon. What thoughts, what story... and I feel connected... thank you for this moment with you both. What a gift🙏🏻
You amazing women are two of my favorites in the knitting podcasting world. To listen to you together, reading gorgeous poetry, was a priceless gift. I was inexplicably weepy throughout. Thank you, thank you! You, too, are MARVELOUS! ❤
This is a great idea I really enjoyed it watching and knitting, then stopping and rewatchlmg some of the ones I really liked. You tube is so full of standard podcasts and this is very different, it fits with the flow of knitting. Talking of flow I really love that you're together and having a obviously such a special connection.❤
What a privilege to "sit at the feet" of such modern day wise women. I felt such heart and grace in your conversation and musings on the beautiful poems. It was a lovely respite from a harsh world. Thank you ladies from my heart to yours.
Thank you ladies so much. I have enjoyed the knitting talk but was surprised by how rich and valuable this conversation was. I have thought of, and taught to little kids - poetry as distilled experience. This was such a lovely thoughtful conversation between friends reflecting on distilled experience and so immeasurably rich. Perhaps it is because I am turning 60, and there is so much change and uncertainty in the world that I have the luxury to now observe, or maybe your perspective and the poems you shared would have been as meaningful were I 20, 30 or 40. But your reflections gave me such pleasure, reassurance and help in finding a merciful place for oneself in the midst of a painful, and painfully beautiful world.
What gifts you have so cleverly curated. I feel privileged, blessed and unusually like I was always meant to be a recipient of this. Thank you both, with love.
🙏🏽I had a day planned out. While viewing this brushing my teeth, I was directed by my spirit- due to your influence- to scratch it all. New joyful day of going inside, watching and listening again and going inside myself - not knowing what I will end up by opening up. 🙏🏽 28:07
Only 20 or so minutes in and dare I say I'm in love? I'm actually not a fan of poetry, but listening you two speaking them and seeing the camaraderie between you both is just wonderful. The Frost poem touched me very much having had some losses, as we all have, in my life. Thanks!
Thank you so very much for this beautiful video! I loved every poem and your discussion was heart-warming, as was the witnessing of your care for each other! Thank you! ❤
I am really loving digesting this podcast slowly - partly because I have a hideous chest infection, and partly because I really love looking at each poem by myself, taking my time to read them ‘aloud but inside my head’ if that makes sense! Interestingly, when I looked up the e e Cummings poem (as I find his work both incredibly intriguing and compelling but also for often such short poems, incredibly hard for me to pick apart and understand!) the version I found online (someone’s blog so not anything official) has the last two lines as: here) s now - I love that the way e e Cummings plays with splitting up the words so that this version has here’s now/here snow. So much in so few characters!
Thank you for this. it was a lovely honest discussion between friends about meaningful words. I loved all the poems, but the Charles Bukowski one spoke to me the loudest today.
How lovely that you have met each other in person now! Thank you for sharing these poems and your thoughts about them. John Donahue's words and poems have always touched me. Thank you for bringing joy to my afternoon while I fend off my second bout of Covid 🦠in eighteen months! Have a wonderful few days together and I look forward to part two!! 😊❤
This was soooo wonderful to listen to - how on earth did the two of you keep such dry eyes for the duration of this beautiful sharing of poetry... I had tears many a time, and it was just wonderful to immerse myself into each poem with you (and with my knitting...)... so many wonderful thoughts and emotions raised during this. It's been a while, but I'm off to pull two of my many poetry books off the shelf to have a re-visit. My mind instantly went to two wonderful poets, Nikki Giovanni, and Gerard Manley Hopkins... have you had the pleasure of either of those? Cheers, Judith 💜
I can't believe you were in Madison! That's my home town and my Mom still lives there. I was at her house this weekend. It's also funny that Jackie talked about her friend Charlene knitting on her scarf. My Mom's name is Charlene. But she is 80 and doesn't knit😊. I hope you got to explore Madison a little bit. It is really a great city. I hope you have safe travels home. 💜
So lovely to see both of you reading poetry. Absolutely perfect for the soul. I’m watching this while having my breakfast and made is already better … thank you 😍💖
Yes !!! Your Galus is gorgeous. The long scarves are very in this year on the runways. I made a podcast where I talked about all the Fall fashion and you are right on fashion Amy. I really want to start one for myself soon 😍💖

This was truly beautiful. Thank you for inviting us to share in your poetry advent. What a delightful hour and a half to spend in your company.
Oh my goodness - you two together in the same room doing poetry with us and wearing gorgeous matching (sort of) knitwear! Is this heaven?!

Loved all the poetry especially the first one. I found that it truly touched something in me. Thank you Amy & Jackie 🏴
In my lifetime of nows, this has been one of the best.
you ladies belong together , so happy the universe finally made that happen. You've known each other before this time. ☺️
