and to give self permission to

Stay

somewhere.    As in this moment with Crow and China Dog.   To not feel the demand to go forward,  to present

something else

but to just stay.   

i know i am always saying this…about the On Being Pod Casts,  but this one,  oh…so much for real…..The Future of Hope 3  with Pico Iyer and Elizabeth Gilbert.   I was amazed by her.   She's always been good,  but what and who she has become recently is so way beyond that.     Who'd've guessed.   I almost didn't listen but then i did and i am so grateful.   She said a lot.  But she said this.

"I feel very strongly that there's an intelligence in the universe that wants to communicate with us and I think that it tries to find us in however we are most…..that we can most find it."

i loved.   That she said this with just these words….communicate with us.   Communicate.   Not just awareness of It,  but

communicate

so Beauty Full to me,  so much what i have been feeling is trying to happen.   And she gave it words.   She is plain spoken.

    I have listened twice now, will probably listen again to make sure I have caught it all. I usually listen when I am too tired to read or make but not ready to sleep or sometimes not ready to start moving around in the day but not going back to sleep and then I do, just a bit.
    Thinking a lot about what she had to say about what forms us, makes us who we are, that it is the hard moments.
    I love On Being, wouldn’t never be able to choose a favorite conversation.

    I am not an audio person. My mind strays too easily. But I’m curious about this On Being podcast, so I might give it a try after the busy-ness of the holiday season.

    i think about that segment…the hard things…and for me,
    i’m not sure. For me, it’s almost the JOY…that
    has/is teaching the most…???? Hard was almost a given.
    Much to consider here.
