The Stoic Morning: Poems To Wake Up To
This episode is a quiet pause at the start of the day—a meditation on mornings as gifts rather than obligations.
Drawing on Stoic gratitude and four short poems by Billy Collins, Mary Oliver, Rumi, and Frank O’Hara, it invites us to meet the day with attentiveness instead of haste.
Each poem becomes a way of honoring the simple fact of waking up, before goals, worries, or noise rush in. It’s an offering of stillness, meant to be lingered with and returned to, one morning at a time.
