It's National Poetry Month in the US, and we’re celebrating with an episode on Quakers and poetry. Many people love poetry, but it can also feel opaque. So, we called up two Friends who have found a home in verse, Parker Palmer and Leah Naomi Green.

Sometimes it can be difficult to discern whether the still, small voice speaking in your head is Spirit, or something more mundane. If you’re following this flowchart and struggling with the yes or no answers, you may need to settle more deeply into worship to find clearness.
Feeling lost, lonely, and directionless is part of the human experience. On today’s episode, Quaker pastor Andy Stanton-Henry shares a message of getting lost and being found by the still small voice of the divine. And he helps us hear it, too.
