Today, March 21, 2025, is World Poetry Day. People everywhere are encouraged to share, read, or write a poem. I would like to share a poem with you, by T.S. Eliot, called “East Coker.”
This poem came to me, discovered me or perhaps I discovered it, just at the right time. I was approaching 50 and doing that thing many of us do — trying to understand life, and my purpose in it. Poetry to the rescue!
