In Person

'...waiting until I was nearly fifty to credit marvels'

In the poem ‘Fosterling,’ Seamus Heaney wrote ‘me waiting until I was nearly fifty to credit marvels.’ It is easy to let life pass us by in a hurry with our day-to-day worries. Instead, Heaney asks us to stop and ‘listen now again’ to all the marvels that exist around us.  

Come and take a moment to slow down at Seamus Heaney: Listen Now Again for a mindful tour where we will listen and feel the words of a poet whose works ‘exalt every day miracles and the living past,’ and have the chance to mindfully listen, breathe and even perhaps write your own mindful poem.
