True Minds
<p>What does it mean for love to last?</p><p>Not the rush of feeling, or the drama of declaration, but the quieter, steadier work of trust. The kind that’s built carefully, tested over time, and strong enough to stand without constant reassurance.</p><p>In this episode, we explore love as something enduring and unshaken, through two poems that speak across centuries.</p><p>Seamus Heaney’s Scaffolding offers a grounded, human image of commitment; practical, patient, and earned. William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116 follows, affirming love as a constant force: unchanged by time, untouched by circumstance, and steadfast in the face of all that seeks to alter it.</p><p>Together, these poems remind us that the strongest bonds are often the quietest - built with care, and trusted to hold.</p><p><strong>Poems featured:</strong></p><ul><li>Scaffolding – Seamus Heaney</li><li>Sonnet 116 – William Shakespeare</li></ul><br/>
