The Pat Poems Series Episode 4: Tragedy, struggle and Triumph

This episode hinges on the power of gratitude in the face of adversity and gets to that point by way of stories ranging from segregated schools in the mid 1900’s to present day struggles and triumphs. The focus is on how we can take the reins of our life and happiness through tending our basic psychological needs. Yet this episode also includes tragedy, poverty and hardship.

We read another one of Pat’s poems, paint the picture of his decline in health and learn from him how to stay present–how to stay in a moment allowing our emotional range its full expression while not attaching to it, but learning to let it go. Other antidotes for stress and struggle include: service, gratitude and advocacy. Listen in to learn more
