Where the Podcast Began: “A Raft to Drift Upon” — Episode 1

Every podcast starts somewhere. The Poetic Bipolar Mind podcast started with a raft. Episode 1, “A Raft to Drift Upon,” is Kiana Jimenez’s spoken-word poem about the thing that keeps us afloat when the storm rages on — a shelter through the thunder’s might, a beacon glowing in the night, the thread that ties the heart to hope.

It’s about ninety seconds long, and it’s the episode that launched the whole series. If you came in later, go back and hear where it began.

    Black Rose

    A solitary black rose stands alone in a garden of colors, beautiful yet feared, unwanted yet unbroken. Its dark petals whisper of isolation, strength, and the longing for connection. When someone finally dares to embrace its uniqueness, two lonely souls find solace in each other’s presence.
