An offering....that started as a sound test.
Show Notes
How often are you living the life you want to live, the way you want to live it?
How often are you waiting for permission?
Take what you hear from this messy human as an invitation;
To listen inward.
To sense outward.
And to feel less alone.
What is Open to What Is?
This isn’t the podcast I was supposed to create.
I had something polished and impressive in mind.
This is more interesting.
You should listen to it.
A bit of background:
I’d already committed to publishing a daily podcast when I got (very, very, very) sick with Long (very, very, very long) COVID.
So, I had a choice:
I could give up, or I could keep my commitment and include my constant exhaustion, fever, foggy-brain, relentless cough —and do my best.
I chose the latter.
My “best” varies quite a bit according to how well or poorly I feel on a given day.
The episodes are raw, out of order, unedited, with uneven audio quality, You’ll often hear my Pekingese, Bija barking in the background.
Sometimes I talk to myself, sometimes I talk to you. Sometimes I have no idea who I’m talking to. It’s a true potpourri.
And it’s not just overhearing me wax poetic through a stuffy nose about new insights and the insufferable discomfort of upended plans. There’s more!
In between the fragments of thought, feeling, and utter nonsense, is a timely and universal story about expectations, meaning making, dropping all agendas, and discovering what’s possible when we Open to What Is.
Tune in.
Sample a few episodes.
See if you can drop all expectations and allow yourself to be surprised and delighted by something you didn’t know you were looking for.
Hello hello. Here we are.
Welcome to 'This is a test'.
Ding Dong.
I don't know if that worked.
Well, we'll find out.
This is a test. This is a test.
Let's just try one more time.
Is that bell ringing?
I think so.
It's hard for me to hear.
Alright so we're doing a quick little test here.
How to Human!?
Why on earth would we listen to me?
Well, we're talking to a very messy human here about 'how to human'.
I'm going to do 70 episodes with you.
And who am I talking to?
I'm really talking to those of you who are looking are looking for permission.
To those of you who for whatever reason, have bought into some belief that you are just not...not enough, to be living the life you want to live, the way you want to live it.
I'm a little sick got a little residual COVID crap going on, so you'll tolerate me.
Really the whole point of this is for me to share with you some of what I've learned, some of what I've refused to learn, some of what I am still doing my best to learn...
...and that we have a bit of a conversation.
Whether it's passive, or active, or interactive.
And that that you take what you see and what you hear from me not as a prescription, but as an invitation.
To listen inward.
To sense outward.
And to feel less alone.
So let's see if this works...
