The Interview: Claire Boyce ~ The Magic of Mantises!

Season 17, Episode 169,   Apr 03, 07:56 PM

We get insecty this week... (is that a word? It should be!) and talk praying mantises and Claire's relationship, since she was knee high to a grasshopper, with these beautiful insects!

Claire is an artist on so many fronts-poet, musician, writer, painter...what doesn't this glorious human do? Oh, and she also does karaoke...and I promised you a link so here it is!  Our conversation ranges from the sacred task of bringing joy to others to getting down with spirit animals (and insects) and the happiness of having your very own mantis to name! I checked out several praying mantis facebook pages and let me tell you, these little graceful creatures have multiple pages with tens of thousands of people who are IN LOVE WITH THEM! Scrolling through the messages you really get a sense of how this insect is beloved by so many!

There is no byte-sized this week because this episode is already petite...so you must listen to the whole thing!

And, we've reached 30,000 DOWNLOADS people! EXCITING! thanks to all of you who listen and support the pod...so grateful for each and every one of you!

Here is your bit of beauty for this mid-week episode...in keeping with our theme of the praying mantis...a bit of mantis beauty for you! And a gorgeous strawberry or two as well! Take some time to learn about these little nuggets...all the myth and story around them is fascinating! But that's what we humans do, right? Create story and folktales to explain the world...and how it works, a bit better!

See you on the weekend for another episode of the pod!
