{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Marcia P. Samuels - A Grain Of Sand","slug":"okletstalknow2025","podcastDescription":"Spoken word poetry, mental wellness, societal issues, faith, conversations, and viewpoints. We’re all just tiny grains of sand in this enormous universe, crafted by a masterful hand. Each grain plays a role in a larger design, and together, we form a nation, a community. We are the world. Sometimes, it’s easy to feel like just one solitary grain, but through our thoughts, understanding, sharing, love, and perseverance, we discover that our strength lies in coming together. Just like a beach filled with sand, our unity becomes a beautiful masterpiece, shaped not by one, but by many. Marcia P.
