We believe wanderlust is about seeking experiences that feed the soul. March 26, 2025 | By Christopher Ludgate I recently took a deep dive to explore what happens in the mind and body with TM practice chatting with the eloquent, the radiant Dr. Tony Nader. Nader became the successor to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi after his passing in 2008. Nader's background as a child in a tumultuous Lebanon led to a yearning for a deeper understanding of human behaviour. His studies in Psychiatry and Neurology led to a focus on Brain and Cognitive Science at MIT while simultaneously studying Neurology at Harvard. Dr. Nader: While in school, I began practicing Transcendental Meditation, which gave me great insight into myself, great peace of mind, and wellbeing. I looked at its research and soon became a teacher of meditation. And when I completed my academic studies, I was invited to India by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. I went there, thinking it was for a week. But then, he asked me to stay a little longer and then longer, and it became like a whole lifetime! And I began to do more research on the relationship between mind & body and consciousness. Since then, Nader has written books about the subject and was named successor to the Worldwide Transcendental Meditation Program by the Maharishi himself. He is now the President of the non-profit Maharishi International University. His latest New York Times Best Seller is called “Consciousness is All There Is.” Chris is a writer, photographer, and award-winning filmmaker with a background in NYC's indie scene. With tailor-made itineraries beyond the ordinary, his travel stories combine culture, wellness, the outdoors, luxury, and history. He's a longtime advocate for holistic health and animal rights as well as an avid gardener, cook, and cat dad.

Hello, and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience.I'm your host, Jordan Youkilis, and in this episode, I interview my professor, Dr. Sue Brown, on Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's commentary on the Bhagavad Gita. This episode serves as part of the Maharishi Vedic Science miniseries, so if you enjoy this discussion, check out the rest of the series in episodes 47-53.In this conversation, Dr. Brown and I discuss the Bhagavad Gita's setting on a battlefield, the ultimate location of conflict and extreme differences. We discuss how the battlefield is symbolic of the challenges people face in the world. Dr. Brown describes how to go inward to the field of unity in order to transcend these conflicts.Next, we consider this act of transcending as the essence of the Bhagavad Gita, and the practice of Transcendental Meditation as a pathway for avoiding war. Sue describes Chapter 2, Verses 45 and 48 as master keys to unlocking the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita. We discuss the events of the Gita in the broader context of the Mahabharata in which they take place.From there, Dr. Brown explains how Maharishi's commentary differs from those of other sages throughout the ages. We consider the universal field of consciousness, which our individual brains reflect. We discuss how Krishna helps Arjuna navigate the conflict between his heart and mind, between the collective consciousness demands for him to defend his people while also having compassion for the family members on the opposing force whom he must kill. Dr. Brown and I discuss how the human dilemmas captured in the Bhagavad Gita are universal issues, encountered throughout the ages.Next, we consider Samkhya (theoretical) and Yoga (practical) knowledge contained in the Gita. We discuss how Arjuna reconciles the sin of murder and war with the transcendental forces of collective consciousness. We consider the time period of the Bhagavad Gita, and the similarities with our current Kali Yuga – an age of stress. We discuss the opportunity we currently have to usher in Satya Yuga, a time of construction and creativity.From there, we dive into Chapter 3 and ideas of Yagya, Dharma, Karma Yoga, the path of action, and Gyana Yoga, the path of knowledge. We discuss why the danger of following another's dharma is more dangerous than death. We then discuss Chapter 4 and how action and renunciation of action are two sides of the same coin. We consider misinterpretations of the Gita, including those who view renunciation/detachment as a necessary state of life, rather than as a state of consciousness. We consider the rise and fall of knowledge throughout time.Dr. Brown explains why Maharishi chose to emphasize his teachings on the practical effect of enlightenment, not just the theoretical knowledge. We discuss the four pillars of Yoga – Raja, Karma, Bhakti and Gyana Yoga, and the concept of Moksha, or liberation. We consider how action in accordance with natural law leads to spontaneous right action, and how the path of enlightenment is one of effortlessness and bliss.We then discuss Krishna's final words to Arjuna in Chapter 6, his guidance: “Therefore, be a Yogi.”. We end the conversation discussing the state of unity consciousness and how Brahmin consciousness refers to regaining memory of totality.Music from the show is available on the Spotify playlist “Entangled – The Vibes”.

Hello to you listening in Lake Villa, Illinois!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.As the old ones say, “If we are not grateful for what we have in this present moment, what makes us think we will be happy with more?” Maybe it's true and maybe it isn't but long ago and far away there lived a man in a small country village. He had everything he had ever asked for: friends, livelihood, wife, family - and yet and yet something was stirring in him: Looking around he asked himself, Is this all there is? Perhaps he was meant for something more. Perhaps he should go and seek it.One summer morning he left his home, carefully closed the garden gate behind him and walked away. He walked for miles and miles until he could no longer see where he had been. Night fell and he found himself deep in a dark forest. Having no other shelter he took off his shoes, spread his coat on the ground, and fell asleep against the trunk of a tree for he was very tired.Watching him sleep his angel shook her head at the folly of his adventure. But what could she do? She could turn his shoes around facing them back in the direction from which he came. And so she did.When the man awoke he pulled on his coat, put his feet into his shoes and began to walk. After many miles of walking the man began to see familiar fields, a few farmhouses, a village - all looking very much like what he had left; but how could that be? People in the village market greeted him as if he was familiar to them; but how could that be? Arriving at a cottage with a garden gate he was startled to be greeted by children and a woman as if he were their long lost father and husband; but how could that be? They welcomed him inside, took off his shoes, sat him at a table very much like one he knew, fed him food that tasted like home; but how could that be?To this very day the man lives with that family in that home in that village and wonders, if this isn't happiness, what is? Practical Tip: As the old ones say, “If we are not grateful for what we have in this present moment, what makes us think we will be happy with more?” 60 Seconds is your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.

John 20:24-28But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hands in his side, I will not believe.”A week later, the disciples were again in the house, and this time Thomas was with them. Jesus came, again, and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” And he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand put it in my side. Do not doubt, but believe.” Thomas said to him, “My Lord, and my God.” David Brooks, in his book, How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen, the inspiration behind our Advent journey this season, tells some beautiful and hard stories about grief and despair and suffering. He gives some sad statistics about how and why we are such a disconnected people these days – and about what it means to experience hardships ourselves, to learn to see them in others, and to walk with others – and each other – through the struggles of this life.If you've picked up the book, but haven't made your way into it, yet – and you're here tonight – maybe Part 2, Chapter 8, page 97, is a place you could begin reading. (If you don't have this book – or don't know or care about any of that – fear not; none of it is necessary. I plan to fill in all the gaps you might be missing.)But in discussing what it means to see one another in our struggles, David Brooks tells part of Frederick Buechner's story. Buechner was a Presbyterian minister, theologian and very prolific author – a few of who's books were required reading in my Pastoral Care and Counseling courses back in seminary. When Buechner was just ten years old – and his younger brother, only 8 – their dad peaked in them early one morning in their bedroom before they were set to go on a family outing about which the brothers were quite excited.It was too early that morning to get up so the boys stayed in bed, in their room, anticipating the fun day they had planned. As Brooks writes it, “A little while later, they heard a scream and the sounds of doors opening and closing. They looked out their window and saw their father lying in the gravel driveway, with their mother and grandmother, barefoot and still in their nightgowns, leaning over him. Each woman had one of his legs in her hands. They were lifting his legs up and down as if they were operating two handles of a pump. Nearby, the garage door was open and blue smoke was billowing out.“… their father had gassed himself to death. It took them a few days to find the suicide note, which their dad had scratched in pencil on the last page of Gone with the Wind. It was addressed to their mom, [and said]: ‘I adore you and love you, and am no good … Give Freddy my watch. Give Jamie my pearl pin. I give you all my love.'”Within just a couple of months, Buechner's mother moved them to Bermuda, where they started a new life, and little Freddy effectively avoided and denied whatever grief he would have/could have/should have probably wrestled with until he couldn't avoid it any longer – when he became a young adult. His work as a teacher and author helped with that, as did more life experiences and research into his dad's past and family history. Sadly, and surprisingly, it wasn't until he reached middle age that Frederick Buechner was able to cry real tears – to actually grieve – the loss of the father he loved very much.I picked this story to tell, because I agree with David Brooks: that the trajectory and experience of Frederick Buechner's grief is a familiar one for many people. See if this scenario sounds familiar:Some sadness, struggle, or even tragedy strikes. There is a period of shock and grief that feels too great to face or engage, so that grief – and all the emotions that come along with it – are packed away, avoided, denied, whatever. We suck it up and move on, because we think that will be easier. We brave the grief alone, or quietly, because that looks like “strength” to us – and that supposed “strength” is often affirmed as such by the world around us. At the very least, maybe we minimize whatever grief or struggle finds us because we are needed by others – children, parents, spouses – or because we don't want to appear weak, or to be a burden or a buzz-kill, or something of the like.(Again, not that anyone here would ever … but does any of this sound familiar?)Whatever the case, this can go on for quite some time … until it can't anymore. In Frederick Buechner's case, it took decades before it caught up with him and before he was finally able to find meaning and new life through the grief he learned to experience and engage over having lost his father so young and so tragically.Anderson Cooper tells a similar story. (I know I am a broken record about Anderson Cooper and his podcast “All There Is,” and I'm sorry – not sorry – that I bring it up every chance I get. If nothing else I have to say tonight resonates or sounds encouraging or helpful to you, make listening to that podcast part of your holy homework soon and very soon. I propose – I almost promise – it will either help you find some words and wisdom about whatever grief you've already experienced, or it will prepare you for the grief that will find you – as it does us all – at some point in our lives.)Anyway, the whole reason Anderson Cooper started this podcast a few years ago, where he interviews others all and only about their grief is because – at the age of 55 – he realized he had never been taught or encouraged to engage, let alone wrestle with or mend, the deep grief he endured by losing his father to heart-failure when he was just 10 years old (like Frederick Beuchner was); or the grief he suffered after losing his 23 year-old brother to suicide when he was just 21.Instead of grieving well, Anderson says as a young adult, he traveled the world, risking his life to report on wars and tragedies and disasters – literally on a global scale – so that, while simultaneously running from and avoiding his own grief, he could subconsciously measure that kind of horrific sadness against his own, and maybe see how other people survived in the face of it.Anderson Cooper embodies Frederick Buechner's suggestion that, even though we long more than anything to be known fully, grief – even though it is utterly universal – may be one of the things that is most difficult to embrace, admit, or share about ourselves.It's why what we're up to tonight is as practical as it is holy to me. It's why I'm so grateful you've showed up. It's why I wish this place was as full tonight as it will be on Christmas Eve.See, on a recent episode of that podcast, Anderson Cooper interviewed the actor Andrew Garfield, who talked about the loss of his mother. And Andrew Garfield said something so profound it's been making its way around the internet, lately. Maybe you've seen or heard it. “The wound is the only route to the gift.”I wonder if, when Jesus showed up for the disciples after his death – and then again to Thomas, who refused to believe it …I wonder if he was doing even more than proving his identity … if he was doing more, even, than just showing evidence of his resurrection … I wonder if, when Jesus showed off the wounds in his hands and on his sides… If, when he invited Thomas to put his fingers “here” and to see his hands, to reach out his own hands and to touch the wounded sides of Jesus…I wonder if Jesus was offering Thomas healing for the deep grief he surely felt, and if he was showing them all – and us, too – that “the wound is the only route to the gift” that even our grief can be for us, as people of faith.Not that we would ever choose the grief that comes our way …Not that we deserve the deep sadness and struggle that finds us, too often, on this side of heaven …But that, because God shows up in Jesus to walk the way of suffering before and beside us as we go, we can remind ourselves and each other that God does God's best work in the dark, sad, scary places of our lives.See, I believe God showed up, in Jesus, to remind us that the only way through the grief that finds us in this life – and toward the healing and hope we desire and deserve – is to trust that it won't last forever; that we don't need to fear or deny or avoid or pretend that it shouldn't exist; that we can come to and through the wounds of our sadness and struggle… We can touch and tend to what hurts us most… (“The wound is the only route to the gift.”)And we can share all of that with one another, without fear, shame, or hesitation. And we can let the light of God's grace – the light that shines in the darkness – shine in our direction, too. And we can let it heal what we cannot, on our own … and we can let it bless our lives with the love that is born for us all, even and especially in our darkest days … with thanks for this Jesus – who was, who is, and who is to come.Amen. Merry Christmas.

Got feedback about this episode? Send Carolyn a textStéphanie Tétreault is a 38-year-old runner, lawyer, wife and mom-of-two children ages 9 & 6. With six weeks until the Twin Cities Marathon – an early October race she'd had her eye on for the better part of 18-months! – Stéphanie's family received the devastating news that her vibrant & energetic 67 year old father had been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. As disorienting as this period of time was, Stéphanie chose to keep on training with full awareness that she might not get to toe the start line in Minneapolis. This is a deeply vulnerable & personal story about love and loss, and the role that running can play during dark times. Like a familiar friend, it provided Stéphanie with a source of comfort and a sense of control amidst an otherwise chaotic & confusing phase of life. For something so universal, grief is not talked about nearly enough and this ranks up there as one of the most important & impactful conversations I've had on the show yet!

MIRACLES FOR YOU Sondra Ray & Markus Ray on A Course in Miracles
MARKUS & SONDRA discuss Lesson #183 in the ACIM Workbook: "I call upon God's Name and on my own." What exactly is the call we make upon "God's name?" The Name of God is whole and complete. Ultimately it is the Oneness we all seek, the unification we are assembling in our life, the truth of peace that blankets every atom in creation. God's name encompasses Everything, without exception. Only that Name is capable of extending Its Will. How do we call upon this Name? In the Eastern tradition we recite mantras, which are God's Name. "Om Namah Shivay" is one of these important utterances that acknowledges the quality of God that destroys our ignorance. Ultimately we are to see God in everything, so that the name of Everything in creation stems forth from God's One Name. This name could be Silence; this Name could be All There Is; this name could be "I AM." We can tap into this Power of Creation, when we "call upon God's name," which is also our own.

"You want to improve all aspects of the waves? Go to the ocean.” Can a single concept truly have the power to transform our world and solve its most pressing issues? Is there a common thread that can unite the fabric of our existence and guide us toward a more harmonious future? What if the answer lies not in external changes but in understanding the very essence of our being? Today, conflicts, challenges, and uncertainties abound, we often search for deeper truths and holistic solutions. Consciousness, as the essence of our existence, holds the potential to resolve conflicts, foster peace, and address contemporary challenges such as genetic engineering and artificial intelligence. A deeper understanding of consciousness could transform our perspectives on freedom, law, and order, and influence how we engage with the world and each other. Dr. Tony Nader is a renowned Vedic scholar and neuroscientist. He provides a unique perspective on consciousness, arguing that it is not just a part of our existence but the very essence of it.

Steve Lickteig has the monumental task of ensuring that CNN's podcasting content is as compelling and trustworthy as its news broadcasts. Gina Garrubbo leverages the value of NPR being one of the most trusted brands in the world to entice sponsors. These two highly respected executives spoke with me spontaneously during the recent Podcast Movement conferences held in Washington, DC, on all things podcasting for a well-rounded Episode 25 of Insider Interviews. The Multifaceted Role of a Podcast Executive When asked about his daily responsibilities, Steve Lickteig explained how an Executive Producer has to be multifaceted: "It'll be a mix of editorial, listening to shows and giving notes, conceiving of new shows or new ideas within shows... plus meeting with the sales and marketing sides of the organization." Given the need for synergy between the editorial and business aspects of podcasting, "You have to know everything — from making the show to understanding the download numbers and marketing attached to it." For example, he emphasized that because listeners are “making a very conscious decision to listen to that show" that intentionality translates to high engagement and trust, which are invaluable for both content creators and advertisers. The payoff has been clear, as he shared his pride over the growth of such shows as “Chasing Life with Dr. Sanjay Gupta” and especially creating a franchise off the popularity of “5 Things.” Those, along with shows like Anderson Cooper's “All There Is” (and, as I got to mention in reference to my brother - who worked on the show for 15 years!, "The Situation Room"), offer brands lifestyle content that feel “safe” if they are headline-averse. Balancing Content and Advertisements The good news is that CNN attracts a bevy of advertisers. The challenge Steve and I – and later Gina and I – discussed is the industry having to ensure podcasts keep a governor on their ad load. CNN's approach with their podcasts is to try to keep it low to maintain a listener-friendly experience without turning podcasts into commercial radio. Elevating Public Media with Gina Garrubbo Gina Garrubbo, CEO of National Public Media, illuminated how NPR handles sponsorships in a way that's respectful to both the content and the audience. "Rather than a commercial interruption, you'll hear that NPR's programming is made possible by client X who brings you Y," she explained. This approach aligns with NPR's mission to provide fact-based journalism – importantly, without a paywall -- creating what Gina calls a "halo effect." That serves their highly curious and engaged audience well – those “who want to understand the world around them," she said. That kind of environment is attractive to creators, and she was thrilled to share the news of Ira Glass and "This American Life" joining the stable recently, to the SRO attendees' equal pleasure with his keynote with fellow NPR podcaster, Rachel Martin, at Podcast Movement! Ira Glass Keynotes Podcast Movement with NPR's Rachel Martin "Eighty percent of our audience says that they consider NPR personally important to them," Gina shared, That enthusiastic audience also infers significant trust and appreciation on NPR's sponsors, pointing out the impact verified through various brand lift studies. Brand Safety and Trust Talking about brand safety, Gina pointed out that NPR does not shy away from covering hard news but maintains a respectful and non-combative tone. "We don't pit guests against each other, and there's a lack of sensationalism," she explained. This makes NPR a safer environment for sponsors, even amid a turbulent political landscape. And, by the way, they don't even take political advertising! The Future of Podcast Discoverability When asked about the challenges facing the podcast industry, Gina echoed Steve's sentiments on discoverability. "Honestly, I am praying that AI will help solve this because,

This is an episode from our archives.Anderson Cooper is now the only living member of the family he grew up with. When he was 10 years old, his father died of a heart attack. His brother died by suicide about a decade later. And in 2019, his mother died at the age of 95. It’s only recently that Cooper has been able to talk about and process these deaths. For Apple News In Conversation’s Think Again series, he spoke with host Shumita Basu about what he’s learned by talking to people about death and grief on his podcast, All There Is — and the advice he has for those who are struggling with loss.
Katey and Quigley are listening to Anderson Cooper's podcast, “All There Is” this week. This podcast, and episode, is filled with touching stories about grief, loss and what we can learn from that. Katey and Quigley share their own personal stories with loss and talk about what they took from the podcast that everyone should think about, so give it a listen and check out this podcast.

Mark 14:1-9It was two days before the Passover and the festival of Unleavened Bread. The chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him; for they said, ‘Not during the festival, or there may be a riot among the people.'While he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very costly ointment of nard, and she broke open the jar and poured the ointment on his head. But some were there who said to one another in anger, ‘Why was the ointment wasted in this way? For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor.' And they scolded her.But Jesus said, ‘Let her alone; why do you trouble her? She has performed a good service for me. For you always have the poor with you, and you can show kindness to them whenever you wish; but you will not always have me. She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for its burial. Truly I tell you, wherever the good news is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in remembrance of her.' I promise, I'm almost done inviting you to listen to Anderson Cooper's All There Is podcast. So much of our midweek Lenten series on “grieving well” was inspired by the interviews, conversations, and insights from that show. I can't recommend it enough.And one of the ways of grief we didn't cover on Wednesday nights over the course of the last five weeks seems so appropriate for today, I just couldn't resist. It's called “anticipatory grief” and it's something I never really wondered much about until hearing Anderson's interview with a film-maker named Kirsten Johnson, who actually made a movie about her dad's dementia, as he was suffering, declining, and very literally preparing to die, long before he ever found himself in hospital bed or nursing home, even. More on that in a moment … but keep the notion of “anticipatory grief” in mind, if you could. In some ways it speaks for itself.Today, this Palm Sunday, is a day full of symbols and story and looking ahead, because it's all about what is to come in the days that follow Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. In many churches on Palm Sunday – and at Cross of Grace, many years – we simply hear the Passion narrative of Jesus' last days and hours, leading up to his crucifixion and death. But there will be time for that, later this week. Particularly, on Good Friday, we'll gather to hear about his last steps and last words, and last breath, even, on the cross.So today, we're just getting started – with the parade into Jerusalem before the big holiday for the Jews and now, even closer to the Passover, we find Jesus having dinner and being anointed with oil by this woman who seems to anticipate something others have missed … something Jesus understands … which is that his death looms. It is right around the corner and coming soon.And, who knows why she understands and anticipates what others don't? Maybe she was paying attention at that parade, when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on that donkey and those palm branches and cloaks were laid out before him.Maybe she knew that he'd gotten the attention of the powers that be, that his challenge to the Empire would be his undoing.Maybe she knew her scripture enough to recognize, in those shouts of “Hosanna,” that here was, indeed, this one who had come in the name of the Lord.Maybe, as John's Gospel tells it, this was Jesus' good friend, Mary, Martha's sister and the sister of Lazarus. And maybe she came with the oil because Jesus had told her; given her the inside scoop. Maybe she had a plan to show the others something they hadn't been able to catch onto yet. I wonder, if maybe Jesus had even asked her to do just that. Or maybe her moment of anointing was a surprise – even to Jesus – that set his final days on a new course, in a way that surprised even him.Whatever the case, the point is clear. Jesus was about to die. This woman knew it. Jesus knew it. And, I think, it was time for the rest of the crew to finally get with the program, and to understand the fullness of what was coming.But that's hard news to hear, right – that the end is near for those we care about? that death is coming for those we love? It's easy stuff to deny, isn't it? We're inclined to pretend and to live otherwise, as much and for as long as we're able, a lot of the time. We are hangers on, “tooth and nail” kind of people, most of the time, when it comes to death and dying. But, whether he was ready for it or not, I think that's the blessing Jesus received from this woman who anoints him today. I think she reminded him – and anyone who was really able to hear it, that his death was pending … on the way … imminent. And her anointing becomes a blessing – a teachable moment – Jesus, himself, uses to prepare his people for the truth and fullness of what was to come.See, in all of that grumbling about the perfume and about how much it cost and about how much it could have done for the poor, Jesus seems to be unfussed. Because, back in Jesus' day, this kind of anointing with perfume was done when someone died. They anointed the body with oils as a ritual sort of cleansing, as a spiritual sort of preparation for the afterlife, and, quite practically, I imagine, to keep the smell to a minimum once the bodies were left to decompose in those family tombs that got used from one funeral to the next.All of that is why Jesus doesn't bother with the others when they pretend to care that the money from that perfume could have been used to help the poor. He tells them to back off, to leave the woman alone, and to let her do with her perfume whatever she wants to do with her perfume. “You'll always have the poor with you,” he promises. “You will not always have me,” he warns. “You will not always have me.”Kirsten Johnson, the filmmaker Anderson Cooper interviews about this thing called “anticipatory grief” – the one who made a movie about her own father's decline into dementia, dying, and death – hosted a funeral service for her dad, while he was alive and still well and able to experience it, himself.In the family's church, with all of their loved ones gathered, people who had known him throughout his entire life came and spoke and said what they would want to say at his actual funeral, when the time came. Only, he was able to watch it, hear it, experience it, on this side of heaven. What a gift.What if, in that moment with Jesus over dinner, that woman was giving her version of a eulogy? Offering him the gift of her anticipatory grief … sharing the depth of her love for him … anointing him as cosmic royalty in the eyes of the creator of the universe … showing whoever was paying attention that nothing was or is or could be more valuable than the kind of love he came to share – not her perfume or her paycheck or her pretending that everything was just fine.At that funeral that wasn't really a funeral, for the man with dementia who wasn't dead yet, a woman stood up and said, “as long as my memory lives, the memory of him will live in me.”And I wonder if our lesson for today, if our invitation as we enter into yet another Holy Week, is to anticipate the grief that's on the way in the days to come. And I don't mean in a long-suffering, masochistic, self-flagellating kind of way. I mean, in a worshipful, awe-inspiring, reverent, hope-filled kind of way that might change our lives – and change our way in this world – if we let that kind of grief have its way with us more often than we're inclined, so much of the time.I mean, if we lived every day like Jesus' sacrifice was just around the corner, instead of just one Holy Week out of 52 in every year… wouldn't things be different for us, as his followers? And then maybe the world could be different, too?Would we be more grateful for what we already have and stop coveting the green grass on the other side of every fence?Would we give more generously, out of our abundance, as Jesus commanded? Or would we keep giving from what we have leftover or saving and striving for a day that may never come?Would the extent of our social activism be limited to our social media feed? Or might we get out and do more with our hands and with our feet and with our voices and with our votes?Would we save our greatest expressions of love and devotion for the funeral, or would we say more of those things face to face with words and actions, instead? Would we ask for forgiveness and offer it more often and with more integrity?Because the reason we can be honest and real and even embrace the grief that has or will come to us all, is because of the good news we share as children of God, as followers of Jesus, as the baptized in Christ, headed into this Holy Week.See, this grief we anticipate – ours, Christ's, that woman who made the movie, or the one with the perfume – none of this grief wins the day. It doesn't last forever. It invites us to anticipate, too, the new life that follows. Our grief is evidence of the deep, abiding love God has for us all. And it calls us to more of the love, joy, grace, guts and faith with which we're called to live on this side of heaven and for the sake of the world, our God so loves.Amen

Becca was a wild child who grew into a confident, young adult and was able to talk to anybody. Her passions included animals, theater and music. She was also a talented artist who fell in love with tattoos and thought of the human body as a canvas. After a tragic event in her early teens, she self-medicated with marijuana and then other drugs. In January 2021, she passed away at 22 from fentanyl poisoning. Her mother, Sarah, wants to break the stigma about addiction and speaks to school groups about her daughter's life. She found that listening to podcasts has helped her to cope with her grief. These include “A Good Cry” with Michael Cruz Kayne at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-good-cry/id1586175225; and “All There Is” with Anderson Cooper at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/all-there-is-with-anderson-cooper/id1643163707. Sarah was moved by a quote from Andrew Garfield (an actor whose mother died in 2019 from cancer) who hopes he never gets over the grief of losing his mother. In an interview in People magazine, he said, “So I hope this grief stays with me because it's all the unexpressed love that I didn't get to tell her…We all told her every day, she was the best of us."
