Meditative Story Podcast: Stephen Kuusisto
We all experience the world differently. For author and poet Stephen Kuusisto, who is blind, it’s through the ordinary noise of day-to-day life, the chance music. Standing on a street corner, wandering aboard a cruise ship – Stephen listens to the world as it is right now, a unique composition never to be heard again.
