Episode Notes

On this week's Braving the Waves, Mikaela Brewer reads a poem about love.

How far outside the box can we take the concept of love, especially on the heels of Valentine’s Day and Family Day? Since love is such a critical element of our well-being and mental health, this poem offers a few of my thoughts on what love means, to both broaden and deepen how we think about it—namely as a central current in our lives. 

Here's an excerpt of the poem:

Yet, the question of our lives is always with us: unlike gravity, can we choose to break this law of love? Do we have the choice not to follow it?

Perhaps the true form of loving is agility: never forgetting to ask those two questions and tallying how many times we’ve answered, “Yes, but here’s how many times we haven’t.”
