Final Thoughts of the Day : (Really this time!)
Cadre. Today, evening edition, it's the Late, Late Show. Shannon is somebody who lives with anxiety with cptsd and is a caregiver for a child with autism. I'm going to read two poems and then tell you why. Put in the comments how much this resonates with you.
Part two of Dr. Shrug's three-part special is called Wild Geese. The poem by Mary Oliver is a fantastic way to describe what we're doing here at Cadre. You won't have any part of three tonight for me, but I hope you have a beautiful night.
Cadre. It's Shannon. I'm back. It's part two of Cadre Today, evening edition, it's the Late, Late Show. You may be sick of me at this point, and that's okay. So I am here for those of you who don't know me, I'm Shannon. I am part of the Cadre team. I'm somebody who lives with anxiety with cptsd, and I am a caregiver for a child with autism. And. And this is a part of the day and the night where we are just closing it down together. And truth be told, I've already done this for the night. And we are testing our tech because we're bringing it to the next level.
So you're getting two rounds of Cadre tonight. Tonight. Okay, so this is just like the late, late version, which means I'm looking like this, and that's great. Okay, so guys, for tonight, late Late show version, I'm going to read two poems because I love poetry. I love. I was an English major, and these two poems really speak to me. And I think I'm going to read it. I'm going to read two, and then I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you why and see what you think. And I'd like you to put in the comments, scale one to ten, how much this resonates with you.
All right, number one, I'm going to start with the. And Emily, who I know is on the stream tonight, enough as adults. And I think this is just such a beautiful sentiment of who cares what people think of us? Who cares if we have a nice big, comfortable tummy? Who cares if our thighs are jiggly and you know all of the things. Who cares if you act like a kid again? It'll break your heart if you don't do it. So do it. That's number one. Poem number two, this one that you guys probably know. A lot of people know this.
No, I'm trying to find it. This poem kills me and I think it's the perfect way to end it tonight, especially for someone who might be hanging out by themselves tonight or had a bad day. This is called Wild Geese. And this is. Hi, junk food junkie. Thank you for coming back for part two. This is Wild Geese. And this is a poem by Mary Oliver. And this poem just is a fantastic way to describe what we're doing here at Cadre. Okay. Wild geese, you do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting you only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
Tell me about your despair. Yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile, the world goes on. Meanwhile, the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile, the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely the world offers itself to, your imagination calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting, over and over, announcing your place in the family of things.
And I just love that last line. Your place in the family of things. Because you have a place here, you have a place on Cadre. You have a place in this family of the Cadre, Sphere. And so you don't have to be good, you don't have to walk on your knees, you don't have to do a lot of things, right? Tell me about your stuff, I'll tell you about mine. And that's what this poem is. And so that's where I'm closing it out tonight. And. And that's it, guys. So this is. You won't have any part of three tonight for me, I promise.
But I hope you have a beautiful night and we'll see you again soon in the country. Sphere. Join Dr. Shrug tomorrow at 7am and have a great night. All right, guys. Good night. Ra.
