In this experience of Bardschool on air, Sarah and Tim explore the themes of Ep 24, asking what can educate our desire, in what way are evil choices really due to a lack of imagination and what makes creativity virtuous? What is the opposite of creativity? The Christian contemplative who is creative is seen to be essential to building a culture that is not dangerous to the human person. With insights from Godfrey Orr, aged 16 and Sarah’s poem “If your name was a temple Mary,” we begin this new season with a fresh sense of mission founded on the love of goodness and the chance to turn suffering into a meaning that brings life. No simulacra here, please! And don’t miss finding out what happens when you try to grow a rose in space. THE BARDCAST airs live and can be listened to on www.RadioMariaEngland.uk or digital radio in London, Bristol, South Birmingham and Cambridge at 3:15pm after the Divine Mercy Chaplet on Sundays and 8pm on Fridays. Each week Sarah de Nordwall reflects on poems that have been sent in, shares a poem of her own, leaves us with a theme and a writing prompt and sends us off to write something ourselves.  Send your submissions to sarah@sarahdenordwall.com and the rest of the podcasts can be found on Radio Maria England’s website.
