Show Notes

‘Blithe came to me, not in flashing red or pink neon, but in pastels… in soft, painterly tones…’

This week, Sally has been inspired by a dream of the word ‘blithe.’ Listen for a meditation on the relationship between words, language, and the memories they ignite.

The Muir poem Sally reads can be found here.

The music used in the opening and closing section is, respectively, ‘Sunday’ and ‘Thursday’, by Paul Sebastian.

This episode was edited and produced by James Bowen.
