For sure, social media sometime feels like the plague. But then, there are the connections made, across continents, between like-minded people. One of those, for me, has been the poet Peter Levitt. His thoughtful posts are a calm oasis in the social media flurry of madness.

 

Recently, he posted a short poem, In Pain, on his Facebook page and I spent that same evening setting it to music. A poem appropriate for our times.
