The clock has beaten Brian Burns twice. June 4th at the HOKA Festival of Miles, he plans to return the favor. Burns, a senior at Bentonville High School and committed to UNC Chapel Hill, joins the show eight days out from Festival of Miles—fresh off a ladder workout that confirmed what his coaches have been telling him all spring: he is in 3:57 shape. The gap between where he is and where he needs to be is not fitness, it's a finish line.The episode traces the full arc of how Burns got here. Growing up in Missouri, watching his older brother Connor run 3:50 at Festival of Miles as a junior. A DNF at the Midwest XC regionals that humbled him and quietly redirected him. The mid-year transfer to Bentonville and what it meant to walk into a program run by Coach Mike Power, a former Olympian who has since become one of his most important influences alongside his father, Marc, who coaches the University of Arkansas women's cross country program.Underneath all of it runs one goal: becoming the first pair of brothers in high school history to both break four minutes in the mile. Connor did it in 2023 at this exact meet. Brian was there. He watched their dad sprint toward the finish line and followed without really knowing why. This time, he knows exactly why.Last year at the Festival, Burns finished last in 4:10. This year, things feel different.Tap into the Brian Burns Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

Li asked doubtfully.Zh: “当然可以，Li! 艺术是灵魂的表达。”小明充满信心地回答。En: "Of course, Li! Art is the expression of the soul," Xiaoming replied with confidence.Zh: 小明手里握着一只珍贵的茶杯，准备开始他的表演。En: Holding a precious teacup in his hand, Xiaoming prepared to start his performance.Zh: 茶馆的顾客们停止了交谈，把目光投向舞台中央。En: The teahouse guests stopped talking and turned their gaze towards the center of the stage.Zh: 小明深吸了一口气，开始随着音乐舞动。En: Xiaoming took a deep breath and began to dance to the music.Zh: 起初，小明的动作还算流畅。En: At first, Xiaoming's movements were smooth.Zh: Li紧张地盯着他，而Chen则端起他的茶杯，看上去并不太在意。En: Li watched nervously, while Chen lifted his teacup, seemingly indifferent.Zh: 随着小明的舞步越来越复杂，茶杯在他的手中摇摇欲坠。En: As Xiaoming's dance steps became more complex, the teacup in his hand wobbled precariously.Zh: 顾客们屏住呼吸，注视着这场特别的表演。En: The guests held their breath, watching this special performance.Zh: 终于，到了最紧张的时刻，小明尝试一个旋转的动作。En: Finally, at the most tense moment, Xiaoming attempted a spinning move.Zh: 手中的茶杯晃动起来，几乎要掉落。En: The teacup swayed almost to the point of falling.Zh: 全场一片惊呼，Li心跳加速，忍不住捂住了眼睛。En: The audience gasped, Li's heart raced, and he couldn't help but cover his eyes.Zh: 在最后一刻，小明奇迹般地稳定住了茶杯。En: At the very last moment, Xiaoming miraculously stabilized the teacup.Zh: 虽然跌坐在地，但杯中一滴茶水也没有洒出。En: Although he ended up sitting on the floor, not a single drop of tea was spilled.Zh: 茶馆里爆发出一阵掌声。En: Applause erupted in the teahouse.Zh: Li松了一口气，快步走到小明身边查看他的情况。En: Li breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to check on Xiaoming.Zh: Chen放下茶杯，微微点了点头，对小明说：“大胆的尝试。En: Chen put down his teacup, nodded slightly, and said to Xiaoming, "A bold attempt.Zh: 不过，下次试试看多练习，可能会更好。”En: However, maybe try practicing more next time; it could be even better."Zh: 小明结结巴巴地笑了，En: Xiaoming laughed awkwardly.Zh: 虽然有些狼狈，但心中充满成就感。En: Although a little embarrassed, he felt a sense of achievement.Zh: 他意识到，除了创意，他还需要更多的练习。En: He realized that aside from creativity, he also needed more practice.Zh: 小明向Chen和Li表示感谢，然后看着茶馆里的其他顾客，心里暗自决定下次要表演得更好。En: Xiaoming thanked Chen and Li, then looked at the other teahouse guests, silently deciding to perform better next time.Zh: 于是，在这个春天的下午，小明学到了关于艺术和努力的新东西，而Chen也开始欣赏年轻人的热情和敢于冒险的精神。En: Thus, on this spring afternoon, Xiaoming learned something new about art and effort, and Chen started to appreciate the passion and adventurous spirit of the young man.Zh: 茶馆的气氛再度恢复宁静，但人们的心中仿佛留下了一抹春日的温暖和期待。En: The teahouse atmosphere returned to peace, but it seemed a touch of spring warmth and anticipation lingered in people's hearts.

I used the access I was granted to take in as much as I could--to give you a peek behind the curtain.  I also got sound bites from 14 of the industry's greatest athletes and behind-the-scenes players, which makes for a fun episode.

Ageing mind and impact of social media on the brain up for debate at Robert Boyle Summer School June 4 to 7 What effect does social media have on the mind? What changes take place in the ageing mind and what goes on in the minds of serial killers? All will be revealed as avid conversationalists and the culturally curious gather for four days of intriguing discussion and debate. 'Mind and Matter' is the theme for this year's Robert Boyle Summer School, a not-to-be-missed gathering from June 4 to 7 that promises thought-provoking talks, discussions and entertainment in Waterford city and Lismore. This year begins with a special opening evening with SETU forensic psychologists Dr Lorraine Bowman Grieve and Dr Jennifer O'Mahoney as they explore our fascination with true crime and serial killers, followed by a weekend full of engaging conversation and social events. The Summer School is a weekend event for adults interested in exploring the role of science in our culture, organiser, Eoin Gill said. It's an annual pilgrimage to the south east for many from across Ireland. "The annual Robert Boyle Summer School is in the tradition if Irish cultural summer schools -very much a Festival for adults, not a school; focusing on Science, but not for Scientists," Eoin Gill said. "We explore where ideas come from and how they impact and affect how we see the world today. The annual Robert Boyle Summer School brings together speakers across various fields on a particular theme relevant to society. This year's Mind and Matter theme will resonate with our audience and we look forward to really good, mind-opening conversation and debate. "We're honoured that this year, we will be joined by excellent speakers and experts in their field, among these Prof. William Eaton head of the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Georgia Southern University; Dr Emma Farrell from the Department of Psychology at Maynooth University, and Regius Professor Rose Anne Kenny from the Trinity College who leads the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing and is author of the best-selling Age Proof : The New Science of Living a Longer and Healthier Life "We're privileged to also have Prof. Mark Cunningham from Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience with us for the 2026 Festival, along with Prof. Luke Gibbons from Maynooth University. In addition to the talks and discussions, the weekend features an array of entertainment, social gatherings and the iconic Garden Party in the stunning surrounds of Lismore Castle Gardens," he explained. The Robert Boyle Summer School is organised by CALMAST, South East Technological University's STEM Engagement Centre in partnership with Lismore Heritage Centre, with support from Waterford City and County Council, Lismore Castle Estates, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), local industry West, Waters, Sanofi, Haleon and Bausch and Lomb.

Austin Plewe ran a 1:49 at altitude and never trained faster than two-mile pace to do it. The American Fork senior joins the show ahead of his Festival of Miles 800m debut to explain exactly how that's possible—and why his roughest year ended up being the thing that made him.Plewe is a product of one of the most consistent programs in the country. Coach Timo Mostert has been running the same aerobic-first philosophy at American Fork for over two decades, and it has produced Clayton Young, Danny Simmons, Casey Klinger, and now Plewe. No 800-specific sessions. No reps faster than mile pace. The speed is just there, evidenced by a sub-49 400 leg he threw down at the state 4x400 a few weeks ago.What makes this conversation worth listening to is how honest Plewe is about what it cost him to get here. His senior cross-country season came apart at the seams—a stress fracture, an emergency appendectomy two weeks before statemeet, then an illness before NXR. He didn't have one good race all fall. What got him through was perspective, teammates, and a faith that the other side of that stretch had something better waiting. It did, in the form of a Simplot Games title, a US number-one ranking in the 800, and a fifth straight Arcadia 4x1600 title for the Cavemen.Now he's in St. Louis targeting 1:47, maybe 1:46—and he's already got a post-race alligator po'boy locked in if it goes his way.Tap into the Austin Plewe Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

The Festival of the Forgiven Life | 1 Corinthians 5:1-13 | John Sloan by Capshaw Baptist

Mircea Cărtărescu, Gabriela Adameșteanu, Matei Vișniec, Bogdan A. Stănescu. Vorbitorincii la Paris Bine ați venit la o ediție specială „Vorbitorincii", filmată direct în inima Franței! Cu ocazia Festival du Livre de Paris, am avut privilegiul de a ne muta „studioul" în cea mai frumoasă ambasadă a României: Palatul Béhague. Gazda noastră, doamna Ambasador Ioana Bivolaru, ne-a deschis porțile acestei bijuterii arhitecturale, iar celebra Bibliotecă Ovală a devenit locul în care am înregistrat toate interviurile culturale ale acestui episod. În acest spațiu unic, am transformat un loc al diplomației într-unul al confesiunilor. Am dialogat despre cărți și identitate cu autori români emblematici: Mircea Cărtărescu, Gabriela Adameșteanu, Matei Vișniec și Bogdan Alexandru Stănescu. Tot aici, am reconstituit istoria locului alături de arhitectul Ștefan Mănciulescu. La final, adăugăm savoare pariziană cu accent balcanic și stăm de vorbă cu Ecaterina Paraschiv, Chef și proprietara restaurantelor Ibrik. Acest episod de colecție a prins viață cu sprijinul prietenilor noștri de la Jidvei România. Le mulțumim din suflet pentru că susțin literatura, lectura și, așa cum frumos a spus Cătălin, pentru că „ne păstrează lumea pe care o iubim".00:16:44 Doamna ambasador Ioana Bivolaru ne-a deschis porțile Palatului Béhague. 00:34:30 Bogdan Alexandru Stănescu, scriitor, coordonatorul colecției Anansi 00:58:34 Gabriela Adameșteanu, scriitoare 01:31:39 Matei Vișniec, scriitor 02:03:40 Mircea Cărtărescu, scriitor 02:44:03 Arhitect Ștefan Mănciulescu 02:58:41 Spuma filelor 03:18:54 Ecaterina Paraschiv, Chef și proprietara restaurantelor Ibrik

Ramón Martínez vuelve a Arte Compacto cinco años después de su primera visita con Maricones de antaño. Esta vez trae bajo el brazo Su fulgor puede destruir vuestro mundo. Una mirada LGTBI+ a la historia de la literatura española (Egales), un monumental ensayo de más de 1.200 páginas ilustrado por Juanma Samusenko que rastrea siglos de deseo, silencios, borrados, traducciones traicioneras y resistencias en nuestra tradición literaria.¿Cómo se investiga un libro así? ¿Cuántos años hacen falta para localizar, leer y conectar cientos de textos, autores, autoras y referencias, todas bien ordenadas en la bibliografía del libro? A partir de figuras como la de Federico García Lorca —hoy de plena actualidad gracias a La bola negra, la nueva película de Javier Ambrossi y Javier Calvo ganadora del premio a la mejor dirección en el Festival de Cannes 2026 — exploramos cómo la crítica, la academia y las instituciones o las propias familias han interpretado, ocultado o directamente borrado las experiencias LGTBIQ+ de la literatura española. Hablamos de la vergüenza familiar en torno a Lorca, de la autocensura, de la manipulación de los textos y de la dificultad para leer el pasado sin los prejuicios de cada época.Miramos a las traducciones de textos de la Antigüedad que han querido convertir en otra cosa los escritos de Virgilio u Ovidio o la naturaleza de la relación entre Aquiles y Patroclo para reflexionar sobre cómo la tradición interpretativa ha condicionado nuestra lectura del pasado.También viajamos hasta la Edad Media, a la época de las Cantigas de Santa María de Alfonso X el Sabio para descubrir personajes satirizados, como Fernan Díaz o Mari'Mateu en la lírica galego-portuguesa. Como recuerda Eduardo Mendicutti, a quien Ramon Martínez cita en Su fulgor puede destruir vuestro mundo, resulta impensable reprochar a un novelista que escriba sobre personajes heterosexuales, pero todavía hoy hay quien cuestiona que un escritor escriba sobre sus propias experiencias homosexuales. Además, anunciamos nuestro próximo directo en el Teatro del Barrio el 27 de junio y sorteamos un regalo entre quienes detecten el gazapo del episodio anteior.Este episodio termina con una lectura de Ramón Martínez del poema “Permitid, señor”, del cordobés Juan Bernier, una de las voces fundamentales para comprender la experiencia homosexual en la literatura española del siglo XX.Si te interesa Federico García Lorca, la literatura española, la historia LGTBI+, los clásicos, los archivos ocultos y las formas en que construimos la memoria cultural, este episodio es para ti.

It looks interesting," he said politely.He: מירה הרימה את ראשה. בעיניה היה תערובת של הפתעה וסקרנות.En: Mira lifted her head. Her eyes held a mixture of surprise and curiosity.He: "כן, כמובן," היא אמרה, נופלת מעט במילים.En: "Yes, of course," she said, slightly fumbling with her words.He: היא הסבירה לו על הקשיים שלה והתשוקה לחזור אל האמנות ולהרגיש שייכת.En: She explained to him her struggles and her passion to return to art and feel a sense of belonging.He: השיחה התקדמה ונפתחה בעולם של חלומות ושאיפות.En: The conversation progressed and opened up a world of dreams and aspirations.He: איתן גילה דרך חדשה לסיפור שלו.En: Eitan discovered a new path for his story.He: לא דרך אנשים חשובים באירועים גדולים, אלא בהשראה מהפשוט והרגיל.En: Not through important people at major events, but through inspiration from the simple and ordinary.He: הוא שאל אותה על החיים שלה, על האמנות שלה, והרגיש את הכתיבה מתהוות כמו גל על החוף.En: He asked her about her life, her art, and felt his writing take shape like a wave on the beach.He: מירה מצידה מצאה את עצמה נרגשת מהעניין והפרגון של איתן.En: Mira, on her part, found herself excited by Eitan's interest and support.He: היא החלה לראות את הכוח ביצירות שלה.En: She began to see the power in her creations.He: תמיד ישנן הזדמנויות חדשות. הלב של שניהם היה מלא תקווה והשראה.En: There are always new opportunities. Both of their hearts were filled with hope and inspiration.He: לאחר שהערב ירד, איתן ידע שמצא את סיפור השבועות שלו.En: As evening fell, Eitan knew he had found his Shavuot story.He: כנגד הים המסתלסל, המילים שלו נכתבו מחדש סיפור של תקווה חוצה גבולות.En: Against the swirling sea, his words rewrote a story of hope crossing borders.He: ומירה? היא חזרה לצייר, בטוחה ונרגשת, לגבי גוונים חדשים באמנות שלה.En: And Mira? She returned to her painting, confident and excited about new shades in her art.He: כך, על חוף תל אביב בשמש של ימים אלו, התחילו שני אנשים לחיות מחדש.En: Thus, on the beach of Tel Aviv in those sunny days, two people began to live anew.He: זרים שנפגשו במקרה, ושינו זה את חייהם של זה לנצח.En: Strangers who met by chance and changed each other's lives forever.

This series includes weekly live practices, daily posts, inspiring rituals, and FOUR printable card decks for exploring our daily themes.Life's Bits and Pieces:May I remember I am not here to watch from the edges, but to co‑create in the ceremony of life's unfolding.May I choose with wise discernment what I will tend in my cauldron of creation.May I return, again and again, to my own sacred center.And, may I trust that some wishes are meant to wander on the wind,carrying my magic farther than I can see.reading: (to self) Living in Process—while I have a couple of complaints about this book in terms of what feels like missing information/explanation, I am really enjoying the exploration of living in process, remembering the this earth, this world, this life is not static, it is an unfolding and each of us has a process to live and explore.(to kids) Aenir, book three in the Seventh Tower series—I actually finished the second book, The Castle, in between April's newsletter and this one. I'm still enjoying this series, in which everything the main character has thought to be true about his life and world unravels as he discovered how much more lies outside the shadowy boundaries of his life. (listening to with Tanner): Brian's Hunt—the final book in the survival classic series that developed after Hatchet. Since I last wrote, we also listened to The River, Brian's Winter, and Brian's Return. We also continued our Gary Paulsen festival by listening to Northwind, which is about a Viking-era type of boy who has to survive alone on the sea.(listening to by self): Sisters in the Wind—I've barely begun this one, as I only recently finished listening to Warrior Girl, Unearthed. This is the third book following Firekeeper's Daughter, but it actually takes place temporally between the events of Firekeeper and Warrior Girl. I actually liked Warrior Girl, Unearthed more than Firekeeper's Daughter overall, but I was really left frustrated by the many holes in the ending. Each of these books is a 12+ hour listen, so be prepared!Note: I am on Fable if you want to follow along with what I read there!Resource Reminders:Intro audio about the Goddess Magic Mystery SchoolI've started to add our monthly activation replay videos for this year's #30DaysofGoddess practice to the homepage!

Marshmallow and Raspberry are our herbal allies for May—soft, spiky, sweet, and resilient.In this month's video, we embark on an exploration of Beltane, centered on the Egyptian cat goddess Bast (Bastet). We weave together goddess wisdom, plant medicine, crystal allies, and animal guidance to support a season of love, playfulness, and heart-healing.May you be playful this month. May you pause to listen to your heart. And, may you savor sweetness in the ordinary momentsReminder: I do create monthly handbooks for members of our Goddess Magic Mystery School community and May's handbook is available here.Expanded post available here. And, bonus affirmation set for paid subscribers is included at the bottom of this newsletter (scroll down).Questions to explore:Do you know how to play as you are now (at this age, in this season of life)? What does play mean to you today?Where might you be trying to “straighten” what is meant to be delightfully cattywampus? What would it feel like to bless the imperfect instead of fixing it?Where can you soften in your life—physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually?What rough edges are currently rubbing at your spirit, and how might you soften them?Where do you feel “thin,” leaky, or drained in your life or energy body right now?What fears or resentments are hurting you from the inside out? What would it look like to begin releasing even a little of that today?If your heart could speak freely, what would it say it needs in order to remember how to be whole?What idea, project, or dream are you ready to make manifest in this season?Affirmations:I allow playfulness to enrich my life.I find pleasure in the small moments.I follow what pleases me.I am rich in so many ways.I understand the sacred nature of the cattywampus way.I embrace the tender beauty in imperfection.I am playful.I dance in the love light of a benevolent Mother Goddess.I am rooted in love.I pause and return to center.I breathe deep and listen.I allow myself to delight in the sweetness of life.I am open to ease in the present.I soften and rediscover sweetness.I remember I am already whole.I am fierce and wild.Inhabiting the crossroads…I watch the orioles,orange and black embersagainst a backdrop of green.They do not know what is on my lists.Standing under this sky,this day,I remember:when we let the litany of the undonerun away with us,we forget to inhabit the real.The orioles are here today.Tomorrow is still only a rumor.Sometimes I feel like I've been “camping out” at a long, extended crossroads—combination of midlife re-evaluation, changing family constellations and needs, and simply living in the in‑between on a changing earth.Midlife invites us to recognize and hold the reality that we can't live every possible life and can't say yes to every shimmering door.But you can:+Listen for your own full yes from the wise guide within. +Make peace with the paths that must pass you by.+Trust that new doors appear because you let others close.A mini blessing for today:“May I choose with wise discernment, even when it means letting good things go.”Embodying the Goddess: Guest Video about BeautySo pleased to share this guest video from Cynthia Abulafia, the author of Embodying the Goddess with you as a special subscriber bonus this month!Where the magic is…This is where the magic is, right where we are, where we touchthe mighty mystery,step into the sacred, and ease into the boundless, right where it touches us.Gently, now, we invite ourselves to remember.Bravely, now, we invite ourselves to reclaim.Firmly, now, we invite ourselves to return.We need not seek the absolute or long for the holy,we need only to open our eyes and reach out our hands, right here,right now, we have already arrived.Sending love to all of you.Keep living your magic, Molly, Mark, + Family This is a public episode.

Addison, Texas is proof that a small map footprint can deliver huge flavor. We drove up from Waco and immediately felt it: this pocket of the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex runs on good food, big gatherings, and the kind of walkable energy that makes you want to park once and just explore. Sweet Paris: https://www.sweetparis.com/ Landmark Kitchen and Bar:  https://www.landmarkbars.com/addison Fuzz Labs: https://fuzzlab.co/ Dolce Paradiso:  https://www.dolceparadiso.net/ Visit Addison: https://visitaddison.com/Sidecar Social : https://sidecarsocial.com/addison/ Kick it Festival:  https://visitaddison.com/kickit/We're joined by Amber Patterson from Visit Addison, who breaks down what makes the city such a magnet for meetups and weekend trips.

Then we get into the stat that stops every foodie in their tracks: roughly 200 restaurants packed into 4.4 square miles, plus the local backstory of how Addison became a launchpad for iconic concepts.Sports fans get love too. With the World Cup coming to the Dallas area, Amber shares how Addison is preparing with watch-friendly restaurants and a four-day Kick It in Addison festival at Addison Circle Park, complete with a huge screen and all-day match viewing. We also swap notes on why the park itself is worth a stop, and how Java and Hops Coffee House turns a simple stroll into the perfect park lunch plan with standout coffee.We kick off our restaurant recap with Sweet Paris, and we preview more spots and experiences we're adding shortly after a quick technical hiccup.  Also mentioned in this episode: Jessica Vasquez- Design It Dallas: @DesignitDallas Part 2: Exploring Moray Speyside-Scotland: A Day of Hidden Treasures, Adventure, and Culinary Delights | 229 | https://www.buzzsprout.com/263670/episodes/15853436From Lighthouses to Castles - Join us in Moray Speyside, Scotland - Part 1 | 228 | https://www.buzzsprout.com/263670/episodes/15845252Subscribe so you don't miss the updated full rundown, and if you enjoyed the travel and food intel, share the episode and leave us a review.Ready for Summer?

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Secrets of the Lost Heirloom: A Festival of Discovery Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-05-29-22-34-01-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Balatoni TavaszünnepEn: Spring Festival at Lake BalatonHu: Balaton partján állva, Bence mélyen beszívta a friss tavaszi levegőt.En: Standing by the shores of Lake Balaton, Bence took a deep breath of the fresh spring air.Hu: A tó vize ragyogott a napfényben, és a levegőt betöltötte a nevetés és a színes papírsárkányok suhogása.En: The lake's water sparkled in the sunlight, and the air was filled with laughter and the rustling of colorful kites.Hu: Minden évben megrendezik itt a sárkányfesztivált.En: Every year, the kite festival is held here.Hu: Idén azonban más is foglalkoztatta Bencét.En: However, this year, Bence had something else on his mind.Hu: „A családi örökség!” – gondolta izgatottan, miközben tekintete a vízparti kavalkádon suhant végig.En: "The family heirloom!" he thought excitedly, as his gaze swept over the waterfront frenzy.Hu: Egy évszázados tárgy, mely generációkon keresztül szállt, most elveszett.En: A century-old item that had been passed down through generations was now lost.Hu: Bence, mint lelkes helytörténész, alig várta, hogy felfedezze a tárgy nyomait.En: As an enthusiastic local historian, Bence could hardly wait to uncover traces of the item.Hu: Ez a titok közelebb hozhatja az őseit.En: This mystery could bring him closer to his ancestors.Hu: Katalin, Bence unokatestvére, csatlakozott hozzá.En: Katalin, Bence's cousin, joined him.Hu: Katalin praktikus típus volt.En: Katalin was a practical type.Hu: „Bence, biztos vagyok benne, hogy valaki csak elrakta valahova.En: "Bence, I'm sure someone just put it away somewhere.Hu: Nem ördöglakat.” – mondta nevetve.En: It's not a puzzle box," she said with a laugh.Hu: A nap előrehaladtával Bence egyre nyugtalanabb lett.En: As the day progressed, Bence became increasingly restless.Hu: „Katalin, ezt komolyan kell venni!En: "Katalin, we need to take this seriously!Hu: Az örökség sokat jelent nekünk.” – próbálkozott Bence.En: The heirloom means a lot to us," Bence tried to explain.Hu: „Tudom, de csak nem hiszem, hogy valami misztikus dolog áll a háttérben.” – felelte Katalin.En: "I know, but I just don't think there's anything mystical behind it," Katalin replied.Hu: A fesztivál forgataga azonban csak akadályozta őket; emberek és sárkányok között elvesztek a lépteik.En: However, the bustle of the festival only hindered them; lost among the people and kites.Hu: Bence végül úgy döntött, hogy egyedül folytatja.En: Bence eventually decided to continue on his own.Hu: „Talán egyszerűbb, ha egyedül próbálom.” – mondta elhatározottan.En: "Maybe it'll be easier if I try on my own," he said determinedly.Hu: Később azonban ráeszmélt valamire, amihez Katalin segítségére is szüksége lehetett.En: But later, he realized something for which he might need Katalin's help.Hu: Egy régi papírsárkány-építő bódé, amit már rég nem használtak, hirtelen a figyelem középpontjába került.En: An old kite-making booth, long unused, suddenly became the center of attention.Hu: Bence említést tett róla Katalinnak.En: Bence mentioned it to Katalin.Hu: „Ott valami furcsa dolog lehet.En: "There might be something strange there.Hu: Emlékszel, nagyapa mesélte, hogy mindig ott rejtette el a kis titkait.”En: Remember, Grandpa used to say he always hid his little secrets there."Hu: Katalin végül beleegyezett, hogy együtt nézzék meg.En: Katalin finally agreed to check it out together.Hu: A bódéban egy rég látott fiókot találtak.En: In the booth, they found a long-forgotten drawer.Hu: Kiváncsian néztek egymásra.En: They looked at each other curiously.Hu: Amikor kihúzták, egy titkos rekesz bukkant elő.En: When they pulled it out, a secret compartment appeared.Hu: Mindketten éles figyelemmel figyelték, amint Bence óvatosan kinyitotta.En: Both watched intently as Bence carefully opened it.Hu: Benne feküdt a keresett családi örökség.En: There lay the sought-after family heirloom.Hu: Örömteli nevetéssel és megkönnyebbüléssel Bence felemelte a tárgyat.En: With joyful laughter and relief, Bence lifted the item.Hu: „Megvan! Végre!” – kiáltotta.En: "Found it! Finally!" he exclaimed.Hu: A fesztivál alatt visszasétáltak a tóparti forgatagba, a talált örökséggel a kezükben.En: During the festival, they walked back to the lakeside throng, the found heirloom in hand.Hu: Katalin nemcsak Bence lelkét nyugtatta meg, hanem saját szkepticizmusát is félretette.En: Katalin not only soothed Bence's spirit but also put aside her own skepticism.Hu: Bence megtanulta becsülni unokatestvére logikus hozzállását, míg Katalin elkezdett hinni a múlt titkaiban.En: Bence learned to appreciate his cousin's logical approach, while Katalin began to believe in the mysteries of the past.Hu: A Balaton partján túláradó boldogság látszódott mindenhol.En: Along the shores of Lake Balaton, overwhelming happiness was visible everywhere.Hu: A nap csak nem akart lenyugodni, miközben a sárkányok még mindig táncoltak a tavaszi égbolton.En: The sun seemed reluctant to set, while the kites still danced in the spring sky.Hu: A családi örökség újra otthonra lelt, akárcsak Bence és Katalin kapcsolata.En: The family heirloom found its way back home, just like the relationship between Bence and Katalin.

Leroy Kincaide has lived about five lives already.Undertaker at 17. Professional wrestler. WWE SmackDown. Writer. Director.But this episode isn't really about any of those things.It's about what happens when you see mortality up close at a young age — and how that one experience changes the way you view every decision you'll ever make.In this Bite-Sized episode of Screw It Just DO It, Leroy talks about working as an undertaker at 17 and the perspective it gave him on time, instinct, and purpose. He shares the moment he walked into WWE — unannounced — and just knocked the door. And he explains why he ignored years of doubt to make his debut feature film for £27,000, which went on to be picked up by Samuel Goldwyn and land on Hulu.This is a conversation about listening to the voice that tells you where you're supposed to go. And the cost of ignoring it.Key Takeaways• Why working as an undertaker at 17 changed Leroy's relationship with time forever• The inner calling that wouldn't go away — from wrestler to filmmaker• The screw it just do it moment at WWE SmackDown• Why he did the pitch of his life on the same day he lost his grandmother• The difference between being happy and being content

Pentecost is a harvest Festival that began around 1,500 years before Christ.  Like Passover it is a prophetic revelation of the life and ministry of Jesus.  Jesus is our Passover Lamb and He also is the One that ascended to heaven and when He did He sent the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday.  Friends we need the mighty baptism in the Holy Spririt to carry out the Great Commission.  

My dog had the best day of his life!

Life has been evolving on our planet for the past 3.8 billion years.  The ecosystems that thrive now have had a lot of practice at getting things right - particularly the complex web of inter-relations that allows us all to flourish. And yet, we're on the edge of the sixth mass extinction largely because we humans have forgotten how to inter-relate and inter-be with the rest of the web of life. At an intellectual level, we know we're integral nodes in the web, but we still behave as if it were other, and out there and not - yet - as if it were a source of wisdom and wonder and wholehearted support: an ancient mentor that has tried and tested enough options to know what works.  So how can we bring the astonishing, creative insights of Biomimicry to the field of human inter-being? How can we shift our sense of self and other, our communities of place, purpose and passion, our businesses, our governance structures…everything that we are and do onto a different trajectory using the web of life as our template?  Biomimicry for Social Innovation asks exactly these questions and in this episode, we're talking to its founder, Toby Herzlich. Toby is a facilitator, trainer, executive coach, and organizational consultant. She is a Certified Biomimicry Specialist and Founder of Biomimicry for Social Innovation, which exists to translate ecosystem intelligence and Life's Principles into leadership and social change strategies.  As you'll hear, she's part of the team that developed The Nature of Trust, and its 8-principle framework for building and maintaining trust, which is so essential in any network of sovereign individuals whether they're bees, or penguins, elks or geese - or people. Living in northern New Mexico, Toby dedicated 20 years as a Senior Trainer with the Rockwood Leadership Institute and continues to support leaders and organizations through coaching and consulting inspired by nature.  Her clients include Executives at National Geographic Society, The Sierra Club, and The Cultural Conservancy. She is passionate about creating innovative approaches to collaboration, building, and guiding diverse networks including the Biomimicry Professional Certification two-year training cohorts, the Volgeneau Climate Initiative, North Carolina's statewide progressive voter network, and the Indigenous Mycelium Gathering of 2025 - there's a link in the show notes and you will definitely want to explore that. Toby is the founding co-facilitator of the Living Systems Leadership Retreats for Women and has supported the capacity-building of women leaders in war-torn countries of the Balkans and the Middle East. There are so many richly inspiring pathways that Toby has opened as a result of bringing a social change and leadership development branch into Biomimicry - collaborating deeply with that larger movement and, at heart and core, with the Web of Life.  This was one of those conversations that could have gone on forever.  It didn't, we stopped at a reasonable time and are definitely planning to cycle back with each other. And the cats visited—Toby's and mine—which always makes a podcast flow with extra energy. Enjoy!
