Sarah's Thoughts: Instructions Before Visiting Earth by James McCrae.

Sarah's Thoughts: Instructions Before Visiting Earth by James McCrae.

Have you ever stopped to wonder if the point of life isn’t to get it right, but simply to experience it?


In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg reflects on a poem that has stayed with her for years, Instructions Before Visiting Earth by James McCrae. Through its words, she explores the nature of being human, the beauty and weight of having a body, loving deeply, losing things we wish could stay, and moving through moments that don’t always make sense.

Sarah unpacks the quiet truth that life is not meant to be perfect or predictable, but deeply felt. She speaks to the way we often rush past our own lives, trying to avoid discomfort or fast forward to something better, and how this disconnects us from the very experience we’re here to have. She invites us to soften, to pay attention, and to recognise that both joy and pain are not interruptions, but essential parts of the same story.


You’ll learn:

  • Why life is not about getting it right, but allowing yourself to fully experience it
  • How avoiding discomfort can disconnect you from meaning and presence
  • The importance of slowing down and noticing the moments that are already here


This episode is a gentle reminder that life is fleeting, and that is what gives it depth and meaning. You are not here to perfect it or control it. You are here to feel it, to live it, and to be present within it. Because the beauty of this experience is not found in having all the answers, but in not missing the moments that matter.
