Wislawa Szymborska: Life-While-You-Wait
From Nobel Prize winner Wislawa Szymborska's poem, "Life-While-You-Wait" is "--
a bittersweet ode to life's string of unrepeatable moments, each the final point
in a fractal decision tree of what-ifs that add up to our destiny, and a gentle
invitation to soften the edges of the heart as we meet ourselves along the
continuum of our becoming." BrainPickings offers Amanda Palmer's captivating
