About this Episode
The Poet (delayed)
Ep. 79: Put on Your Coat
Available: May 5, 2026
The cold, dark morning
Whispers: cancel all your plans
He puts on his coat
There are moments when life goes dim.
Not because everything is ruined, but because weariness, grief, fear, or overwhelm can make the path disappear.
This episode is about what to do in those moments.
How darkness can hide what still exists. How discouragement can distort reality. How you do not need to solve your whole life before breakfast—you may only need the next faithful movement.
A coat. A step. A breath. A beginning again.
