Sarah Kay's Way with Words (June 13, 2013)

www.onbeing.org/program/sarah-kays-way-words/4548 Sarah Kay says that listening is the better part of speaking. She's a spoken word poet in her twenties who is inspiring teenagers around the world — with the way she uses words: "I like words, I love strange words, I love words that mean exactly what I need them to mean, and the word flux, when I found that word, I loved the way it was fluffy but it was sharp, it was just everything that I wanted and also, my life is just eternally in flux and just has been and probably always will be." Sarah Kay says her job description is rediscovering wonder, and rediscovering how language and listening make impossible connections between people.
