This weekend I met RuthG, the poet, teacher and quiet inspirer of many a 43 Thinger. What did we do? Well, we talked. And talked. And talked some more. (Well, put a podcaster and a poet together, and what else did you expect?) Topics spanned a vast expanse. We talked (amongst other things) of violets, cinnamon, bananas, composting, religion, Shakespeare, poetry and story. And story after story we did share. I wouldn’t be much surprised if we counted up the topics and they magically added up to 43. Ruthji is as warm, gracious and spiritual (and yet refreshingly down-to-earth) in person as she is on-line.

It was an honor.
