All right, the deed tis done. I have pressed record and you have pressed play.

And through an asynchronous ether, we have been brought together.

This is Jay Brown Yoga Talks podcast.

My name is Jay Brown, and whether you are a first-time listener or a returning friend,

I'm so grateful to you that you have chosen to listen.

I do hope this moment finds you faring well.

And please forgive me my verboseness this week.

Regular listeners, no, I don't know he's talked so fancy,

but I'm in an iambic pentameter sort of mood.

I was just reading some Shakespeare, which I haven't done in a very long time.

It is because of a particular occasion that feels very special to me that happened earlier today.

You see, my youngest daughter, Annabelle, who has been

on the show a couple of times if you want to go back and listen to the episodes I have recorded

with her. Well, Annabelle, over the last year, every morning before she went to school, she had

this ritual with her mother. They found this book,

and it was 365 poems about nature. So like a poem for each day of the year about nature. So they've

been sort of following along with whatever month we've been in. They're these poems. And they're great and they're old from the 1800s and they're often written in really,

I would say sort of difficult language, but she loves it.

She loves reading poetry.

And she has also really taken to watching classic movies, like romance movies and musicals.

She has this like sentimental streak.

In any case, you know, she ran out of stuff to read.
