These are the days of the long nights, when ¾ of our day gives way to the dark. If we listen carefully, their gifts are rich and restoring. In these strange times we need, once more, to slow down, look up, and hear the night speak to us with its silences. Come aboard the Erica and let’s journey into the night.

Journal entry:

27th November, Thursday
"This morning,
The kingfisher wakes
To a softer, kinder day.

The willow leaf
Finds the current
That I cannot see.”

Episode Information:

In this episode I read an extracts from:
Jen Ratcliffe’s wonderful and highly recommended Substack Mess in a Boat (with spoken word version).
Chet Raymo’s The Soul of the Night (1985) published by Cowley.

I also read Tom Hennan’s ‘Summer Night Air’ from his collection Darkness Sticks to Everything (2013) published by Copper Canyon Press, and refer to Nic Wilson’s Country Diary column.

With special thanks to our lock-wheelersfor supporting this podcast.
