In this special episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, we welcome poet and creative guide Jacqueline Suskin, reading “Time” from her latest collection, The Verse for Now.
With her signature blend of lyrical insight and grounded presence, Jacqueline offers a meditation on the fleeting, mysterious nature of time—and how it shapes our experiences, efforts, and awareness.
Through imagery of tangled webs, sweet summer fruit, and the slow alchemy of growth, her poem invites listeners to consider the difference between hearing and truly listening, between effort and surrender. It’s a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come, how much we’ve learned, and how even when time escapes us, some quiet magic still remains.
Let this poem meet you where you are, and offer you five minutes of reflection and renewal.
