A podcast to help get through these days that seem neither here nor there, before or after, what used to be or what will come after. A poem, a prayer, a story, a few good words for all good Saints who feel they've fallen into a strange place called limbo. Some thoughts and considerations to help us expand with passion this thing called living and look with hope to the future of our days. Each week features a different theme beginning with thoughts on the essence of Time. Upcoming themes to be explored include Hearth and Home, Elements of Light, Curiosity, Roots, Passion and so forth and so on and into infinity.
Wishing you a glorious good day. Today we talk a little bit about the anticipation of hope and a chance to ask ourselves - what exactly are we really hoping for and what the fulfillment of that anticipation would look like in our lives.

In 2017 Nashville, Tennessee was in the direct path of Totality. Few instances bring so many people into a great state of anticipation but this one had people traveling from all parts of the world for good reason. It was an experience like no other and left behind a wonderful message about the power of being on the same page as one another. Our apologies for sound issues on this episode but not wanting to skip our gathering today we are posting.
What would it be like if we all anticipated the coming of something really good. Of doctors and nurses found themselves at home well, rested and happy - laughing even. Just a few good words and quotes to help us get through this space of another day.

This episode we continue exploring a place called home. Where we find it and what it means to us.
What does it mean to be 'home'? And what do we long for when we are homesick? For some its the saltwater. For others the mountains. A place we have known and loved all our lives. For others it is the people that make it feel like home. This week we explore the word home and what it means to different people and how we find our true homes the same way we might discover our true north. A reading from The Messenger of Magnolia Street and West With the Night by Beryl Markham and references about Rick Bragg's Ava's Man and Kathleen Norris's The Cloister Walk.

In this episode we talk about the Greek concept of Kairos time and Chronos time. One denotes a season, an opportunity, a zeitgeist. The other chronological time like the hands of a clock moving forward. Something like the moods of time. Moments that freeze and seem to stand still forever and those who are so fleeting they are like sand between our fingers. Also features a reading from Eating the Sun, Small musings on a Vast Universe by Ella Frances Sanders exploring the timing of heartbeats. Did you know the heartbeats of strangers will synchronize when they trust one another?Music is Rhapsody in Blue by Gershwin.
In times like these it benefits us all to look outside the box. To consider our world through a larger lens. This week we explore time and in this episode read from Searching for Stars on an Island in Maine .
