94. When I Write

Now That You Ask ·

2023/05/04

When I write I am guided and governed by an inner voice that dictates the landscape I want to create. I am not sure where that voice comes from and it seems to move around in my body and makes its presence know at random times throughout the day. I always feel like I should listen when it calls. I trust it will lead me somewhere I want to be. Now That You Ask is a podcast that looks at topics that range from death to desire, and from wondrous to downright whacky.

Now That You Ask ·

2023/04/27

I have been struggling of late with recognizing what is mine to face and what is not mine. When I see people I love struggling, I want to swoop in and help them. However, I am learning that it is not always my place and I know I can be a bit overzealous to the point of making their problem all about me. So, it seems I need to make a change and an effort to stay in my lane, so to speak, or to not speak as is the case. I do love silence, but keeping my mouth shut is a different thing all together.

2023/03/02

This episode is another in a series about my father and the end of his life. His dementia started slowly but with great enthusiasm. He began to forget things that he knew he should remember and this made him so mad he would ball up his hands into fists and shake his head side to side. In some ways, his dementia robbed us of the ability to walk the end of his life together consciously, but I think it also saved him from some fear.

My relationship with Nature is complicated. For example, I absolutely adore trees and gardening but I dislike dirt.
