When you feel poor, check out Sarah Kay doing her spoken word poetry


Sarah Kay is amazing.

Is art the answer?

Sometimes I can get trapped in the whole: if only I had…this (connection, money, position, power, status, experience), then I would be able to do…that (something big and beautiful, or whatever my heart long for.) The sensation I speak of can come in the disguise of getting afraid, losing my voice, feeling poor, feeling envious. In those situations this artist has a wisdom that speaks to me. When you think you need something else than what you are/have, it might be time to have a look at Sarah Kay´s one-woman, one-voice, heart-opening performance that I found on Ted. I only call it heart-opening because I can not help crying when I hear that first poem. Both the insights she shares in her poem, but maybe even more inspiring: her bold, no-bullshit, performance has a lesson in daring to start from wherever you are.
