Swimming, One Day in August, a poem by Mary Oliver

“It is time now, I said,

for the deepening and quieting of the spirit

among the flux of happenings.

Something had pestered me so much

I thought my heart would break.

I mean, the mechanical part.

I went down in the afternoon

to the sea

which held me, until I grew easy.

About tomorrow, who knows anything.

Except that it will be time, again,

for the deepening and quieting of the spirit.”

 Episode Notes:

When you start to feel those feelings of disrespect from people in your life, this is a sign that you need to establish boundaries.

When facing times where you are engaged with a difficult person, or a difficult situation try to consider the Three C’s Rule:

• I didn’t cause it.
• I can’t control it.
• I can’t cure it.

Have clarity on what you want to say to someone that you feel is disrespecting you, and allow yourself to advocate for your best interest.
