Bellingham, Washington sits 90 minutes north of Seattle and most people drive right past it. They shouldn't. In this episode, we cover one of the Pacific Northwest's most underrated regions — the Bellingham waterfront, the historic Fairhaven district, Chuckanut Drive (Washington's original scenic byway), and the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, where the fields stretch to the Cascades and the bloom is worth planning a trip around. ____________________________________S04 Ep155____________________________________Connect with us on social media: Instagram: @unscaledtravelshowTwitter: @fullmetaltravlrFacebook: @fullmetaltravelerWebsite: ⁠⁠https://www.unscaledtravelshow.com/

Hello to you listening in Bellingham, Washington!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.There is nothing quite so still as an old growth forest to settle the anxiety I feel in these times of madness. Walking deep in the woods of the island's old growth forests a stillness beckons me to stop and listen deeply. The stillness asks if I can hear the immense power and depth of silence. I am reminded that all sounds arise from silence and fade back into silence.When we take the time to stop and experience silence we calm our mind, still the crazy chatter, breathe more deeply. Allow stillness. Stay with silence as long as you can. Tune in to your intuition, see clearly, hear your heartbeat, feel the blood coursing in your fingertips, and sense the steadiness of your breath coming and going easily. Remind yourself that we are alive and connected to all beings.Question: How does it feel to seek a bit of refuge in the stillness of the present moment? How does it feel to be alive, vibrant, and in tune with silence?   You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Send us a textStart with still water, end with laughter. Across two rich hours, we question what productivity even means and swap the hustle for miracle-mindedness: seeing thoughts arise, letting feelings be felt, and choosing the peace of God right now. I share how supply shows up when we stop gripping, why “you need do nothing” isn't avoidance, and how trust quietly multiplies our loaves and fishes when the mind releases plans and panic.We wander, honestly, through the terrain of desire, romance, and boundaries. I talk through a messy dynamic—neediness, pullback, fantasy—and how labeling people cements pain. Clean boundaries don't punish; they simply stop feeding a pattern that doesn't reflect truth. Regret gets a gentle audit, too: it isn't caused by what happened last week; it's an ancient echo asking to be seen and released. Keep the regret and you repeat it. Forgive it and you turn the page.We also unpack sex, fantasy, and sensation with candor. Fantasy is a substitute for joining; it dulls presence and complicates love. Pleasure deepens when it's an expression, not a bargaining chip. The same clarity heals the body story: symptoms lose their “cause” when we drop fear narratives and rest in causeless peace. And when harm seems to happen, we name it out loud, refuse secrecy, and then look with Christ's vision so only love remains. That's the practice threaded through everything: watch the mind without fear, forgive what never truly occurred, and let laughter end the world's spell.If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who's ready to need less and feel more, and leave a review telling us which belief about love or lack you're questioning today.Support the show

Send us a textWhat if “the last judgment” isn't a cosmic trial but a daily practice that restores your peace? We dive into the end of ACIM Chapter 2, Section 13, and flip an old fear on its head: judgment becomes discernment, the simple act of keeping what is loving and letting go of what isn't. When “last” means the end of illusion—not the end of life—you stop bracing for punishment and start walking through a doorway to real aliveness.We explore how fear shrinks awareness and makes survival thinking feel like reality. The shift is practical and immediate: notice the thought that contracts your energy, recognize it hurts, and release it. You can't judge your Self—because you didn't create your Self—but you can apply perfect judgment to what you made: stories, identities, and interpretations. Real memory keeps only what is good; it heals without erasing, so even painful scenes can be remembered without blame or victimhood. This is forgiveness that actually works.Time takes on a single purpose: a safe buffer for correction, moment by moment. Every minute is an invitation to choose again—love over fear, innocence over guilt, clarity over confusion. Perfect judgment isn't moral superiority; it's clean seeing that recognizes illusion as illusion. As you retain only the lovable, fear loses its foothold. Relationships soften, defensiveness drops, and you feel bigger than the problem—free to embrace whatever appears. That's your part in the atonement: keep what is loving, release what is not, and let perception be corrected now.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a thoughtful review. Tell us: what fearful story are you ready to stop keeping today?Support the show

WE DID A SHOW INFRONT OF PEOPLE WHAT WHY. Discussion consisted of local car scenes and actually meeting the caricature of the dodge ram owner. Special thanks to the Waterfront Tavern in Bellingham Washington for letting us do this episode. And even more special thanks to everyone of our fans that made the trip out just to come and see us. Yall are Awesome.

Our guest has hosted hundreds of patients on ketamine-assisted psychedelic trips and has gone on a few of his own, yet his experience is that dreamwork can be even more profound. In this show, a replay of a popular show from August 2024 Katherine talks to Dr. Darren Jakubec, an emergency-room anesthetist who runs a pain clinic in northern British Columbia. Jake talks about his history with dreaming and inner work and then gives an example of working a dream with a pain clinic patient. He describes his experience with a ketamine clinic which he ran for several years, describing psychedelics as an inner work accelerant which uses much of the same language as dreaming. After the break we take a dream share from Steve Popp, co-host of the “In the Garden” program which precedes the Dream Journal on Saturday mornings on KSQD. The dream features powerful spiritual themes which leads us into Jake giving his analogy about psychedelics vs dreaming which he summarizes as fire hose vs garden hose. We take a second dream from Elizabeth from Bellingham WA of a chaotic car trip with a problematic loved one. Books mentioned during the show: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan, and various work by Gabor Mate. He also mentions the Curable app for dealing with chronic pain. BIO: Darren Jakubec, M.D., is trained in family medicine and in anesthesia and lives and practices in northern British Columbia. Darren has been a dreamworker for 12 years and practices dreamwork in his pain clinic, in his ketamine clinic, in the emergency room, and in the hallways and rooms of the hospital where he works. Contact me to get in touch with my guest.

Another insightful podcast with the youthful MA's and their views on a wide variety of topics. It's always nice to hear what the kids are thinking these days.

This was supposed to be a funny sit down with the MA's at Supertrack Urgent Care in Bellingham Washington. Somehow we ended up chatting about some pretty deep topics and still managed to have some laughs.

It started with the burned trees. My kid being in school down in Portland means that every month or so I make the four-hour drive to see him. Part of that drive takes me over Satus Pass, a landscape that moves from sagebrush into forests of ponderosa and scrub oak and aspen. There are fires. Often. As a result, there are patches of trees that were burned years ago, and which over time still stand, their branches stripped, the burned bark still clinging, the bare white of the inner wood gleaming in late afternoon light like the flash of teeth. Every time I drive by these stands (there are several on the way to Portland), I gorge myself on the sight. They fascinate me. They begged me to explore their shapes through visual art, and who am I to deny the raw beauty of such a thing?It came to me to construct fiber sculptures, inspired in part by the work of Clarissa Callesen, whose exhibit last year in Bellingham WA blew my everloving mind. My idea coalesced and took shape. I had to have a place to install this idea of mine, so I pitched it to Karl Schweisow at The Palace Gallery and he was game to host a show about wildfires. I called it Pyrocene: the age of fire. I invited some excellent artists to participate, and to my delight, they stepped up. Eighteen artists contributed to exploring the theme of megafires: how they affect us, what they destroy, what they create, how we can think about this climate phenomenon without despairing or blackening with rage. Until we make some major policy changes and commit the resources to treating the forest, rather than investing our limited forestry resources on just putting out these massive fires that erupt from the Rockies to the Pacific in such numbers and with such ferocity that the smoke darkens the continent; until we decide that humans aren't the only life forms that inhabit this planet and that we need to start prioritizing the health of the biosphere before there isn't one; until we rethink our choices of where to live and where to channel our scarce water; and until or if we ever collectively step back from the economic and capitalist factors that are disrupting the delicate balances of our climate, the forests will burn. And burn. It is an obliterating sight. A few days back I was walking in one of our local canyons, the Taneum. The wind was softly speaking in the trees. There were all manner of wildflowers: wild rose, fireweed, dwarf daisies, and the smell of the fresh earth was something I wished I could bottle. It was the definition of serenity. The path was shaded and cool, the taste of water in the air. There were small animals scrabbling in the underbrush, a grouse thumping in the distance. Such gentle, quiet, all-encompassing life. When that burns, it's stripped to powdered emptiness. Stark. Black. Dead. Barren. The sun standing on top of you, bearing down. Silent. So much is lost. Yes, fire is part of the natural ecology in this landscape. But megafires are something else. They burn so hot that they sterilize the earth for up to three hundred years. They create their own weather. They chew their own tails, building on their own intensity beyond anything that humans, or certainly the wildlife who live there, can do much of anything about. They're murderous creatures on a rampage, and we're the ones who feed them. Do I know what to do about any of this? I do not. Say hello to another hand-wringing environmentalist over here. I make modest donations, I have spirited conversations within the echo chambers of my like-minded friends. None of that will change much of anything. But what I can do, what all artists do, is witness. Witness the magnificence of the forest. Witness the nodding Indian paintbrush in the soft June breeze. Witness the impact of the fires that come and come and come. Speak to those fires, speak about them, make the art, show the art. This is what Pyrocene is. It is the artist's response to the era of megafires. If you're in the Ellensburg area and would like to experience this collection live, and believe me, you would, then The Palace Gallery is open Saturdays from noon to 4p and by appointment. That's this Saturday (Solstice!) and next Saturday. It's worth adding to your Saturday roster. Seriously. And if that's a no-go, then please do enjoy the video walkthrough above. The participating artists are:Robin Mayberry/ Scott Mayberry/ Mary Duke/ Becky Parmenter/ Tabitha Klucking/ Emily Jacobs/ Christine Texiera/ Karl Schweisow/ Crista Ames/ Justin Gibbens/ Carol Lelivelt/ Terri Rice/ Renee Adams/ Janice Baker/ Howard Barlow/ Lorraine Barlow/ Kenneth Johnson/ Barbara Siegele/ Lane Chapman/ Justin Beckman/ Wyatt LandisIt's extraordinary.So is our landscape. May we love it in every way we can. If you'd like to spend some art-making time with me (and who wouldn't), I'll be offering a four-hour encaustic workshop on Sunday August 3 at Gallery One in Ellensburg.

The motorcycle rider in Bellingham WA who was taunting the cops to come catch him! SPOILER ALERT: They caught him!

“Why do you seek the living among the dead?” sounds like a chastisement. Until we remember that the only reason that ANYone knows that Jesus' tomb is empty is because a whole crew of faithful women showed up at the place of death, with the intention of attending to the dead. Indeed, it is only by returning again and again to the tombs of today's Empires that we can be gathered as resurrection communities who follow Jesus' call to “storm the gates of Hades” which shall never prevail against us. May we keep seeking (and finding!) the living (and life!) among the dead (and places of death!). May we do so until every gate to hell is crumbled and ALL are free.Sermon begins at minute marker 2:12Luke 24.1-12Resources:BibleWorm podcast: Episode 638 – Remember What He Told You, Amy Robertson and Robert Williamson, Jr.“Not the story we wanted: An Easter and arrest story,” an emailed letter from Chris Hoke, Underground Ministries, April 18, 2025.Learn more about La Resistencia - “No estan solos; You are not alone.”Learn more about Community of Hope Mennonite Church in Bellingham WA - with gratitude for Pastor Rachael Weasley's words, shared from a letter.Image: table turning at the Northwest Detention Center; Mennonite Action “God's Love Knows No Borders” sign visible, April 2025

In today's episode, we are joined by my naturopathic oncologist, Dr. Laura James. As you listen to our discussion, it's essential to acknowledge the whirlwind that accompanies a cancer diagnosis. For many, including myself, the speed at which treatment unfolds can be both a blessing and a challenge. The urgency of medical intervention, coupled with the support of excellent health insurance and the unique circumstances of the COVID-19 era, can lead to a swift entry into what is commonly referred to as the breast cancer industrial complex. But what exactly does this term mean? It's a new concept that encompasses medical advancements, institutional processes, and societal expectations surrounding cancer treatment. While grateful for the prompt attention and care received, there's an underlying need to address the implications of this fast-paced medical industry. For me, and perhaps for many others, navigating the breast cancer industrial complex has raised questions about agency, reflection, and informed decision-making. The speed at which decisions are made can sometimes overshadow the opportunity for thorough consideration, prayer, and seeking second opinions—elements crucial to holistic well-being. Together with Dr. James, we'll explore the importance of empowerment in the face of medical urgency, the role of advocacy in navigating treatment pathways, and the significance of holistic approaches to cancer care. ______ Air Dr. I've been using the Air Doctor air purifier for almost a year and absolutely love it! I first heard about it from Dr. Mark Hyman, and even though it was a bit of a splurge compared to what I usually spend, I'm so glad I invested. Every time I change the filter and see all the gunk it collects, I smile, knowing it's doing a great job keeping my air clean! And I'm so happy that all that gunk isn't going into my body ; Click here to purchase: https://airdoctorpro.com/?oid=17&affid=6165 ______ Just Add Buoy Companies contact me every week, asking me to try their products. Honestly, I get food and supplement samples almost weekly! Last week, a San Diego company called Just Add Buoy emailed me to ask if I wanted to try their electrolyte formula. I said yes because I've been looking for an electrolyte formula (without tons of sugar, both fake and real and no dyes) for years.   They sent me some samples, and I must tell you how much I love them. I'm trying the Hydration Drops, and they have 87 trace minerals, Ionic ocean electrolytes, and antioxidants. And, also important to me, NO SUGAR (FAKE OR REAL), NO ADDITIVES OR DYES.

Join me for a fascinating conversation around an exciting breakthrough in dementia detection that's offering real hope for early intervention. Dr. Hans Frykman, Chief Scientific Officer at Neurocode Laboratories, is here to share groundbreaking insights into cutting-edge biomarkers that can identify pathology associated with Alzheimer's disease before symptoms even appear. What's even more fascinating is how these same tools are revealing neuroinflammation caused by infections, including COVID, Lyme disease, and mold exposure—issues that are incredibly relevant in functional medicine today. The assays Dr. Frykman and his team have developed, and continue to research, are transforming the way we think about diagnosing and addressing neurodegeneration. We're talking about a potential game-changer that allows us to intervene earlier, reverse damage, and ultimately improve the trajectory of these conditions. This is an extraordinary time in science and medicine, and the work we're discussing today is at the forefront of it all. Don't miss out on how this could reshape your practice. ~DrKF Check out the show notes at https://tinyurl.com/2t55s3y3 for the full list of links and resources.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Jim Graham, Founding Partner at Graham Baba Architects with offices in Seattle and Bellingham Washington. They discuss Vitus, an adaptive reuse office and retail project located in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle, Washington.You can see the project here as you listen along.Vitus, a company dedicated to preserving and improving affordable housing, sought a new home that reflected its values. Instead of building new, they chose to reinvest in the past, acquiring a forgotten 1920s-era building in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood. This 25,000-square-foot heavy timber-and-masonry structure has since been transformed into a dynamic space that blends history with modern function.If you enjoy this episode, visit arcat.com/podcast for more.

Feedback. It is all too common to use this word. But do many of us actively pursue it as if it is foundational to the success of our businesses? Chances are not really. And in so doing we lose out on connection, relevancy , and have a harder time delivering value that creates momentum with our coffee. All because when we talk about relationship coffee, we tend to leave out the consumer.  Today on this 32nd episode of Rate of Rise, brought to you by our friends at Mill City Roasters, we are sitting down with cofounder of Mirror Coffee Roasters in Bellingham Washington, Mark Kutrovski! Mark and his brother Seirgi both had a solid career in coffee before founding Mirror Coffee Roasters 5 years ago. Their brand has, from the beginning been focused on quality and guided by a consitent puruit of connecting with and getting feedback from their customers. Both consumers and wholesale customers.  In today's episode we explore the need for all roasters to pursue feedback in how they source, roast, and communicate value to their customers and why it is of particualr importance nright now!  Links: https://mirrorcoffeeroasters.com/ Instagram: @mirrorcoffeeroasters      Related episodes:  RoR #25 : Training Up the Next Generation of Roasters w/ Steve Lee of Pocket Knife Consulting + Linea Caffe ROR #23 : How to Close the Industry-Consumer Flavor Gap w/ Phil Beattie, Dillanos Coffee Roasters RoR #1: A Conversation w/ Anne Cooper of Equilibrium Master Roasters 433: Winning Staff and Customer Loyalty 340 : Encore Episode of “10 Reasons to Love the Customer”!     Our Sponsor for Rate of Rise! www.millcityroasters.com

This show is about YOU!! No guests, just callers. What have you been dreaming about? What are your hopes for this coming year? This the first All Caller show in three years, and we take calls from four people, and together look for treasures in their dreams. Charlene from the CA Bay Area started us off with a dream about stepping away from a man who put his arm around her waist. This ultimately reminded her of her childhood experiences of a ghost on the Connecticut farm where she grew up. The second caller was from Elizabeth from Bellingham WA who shares that her brother has recently died. She shares a dream where she worries if others will have time for her but feels great connection to the ground while walking in her delicate shoes. After the break, Jennifer from Santa Cruz starts a conversation about dreams about society like Carl Jung’s dreams foreshadowing World War II. We also talk about the upcoming October regional conference in Santa Cruz at the Museum of Art and History and the June international conference which will be all-online (find out more and register at IASDconferences.org/2025/). Finally, at the last minute, Ray from Santa Cruz calls talking about his on-going quest to learn how to find guidance in his dreams.

Matt Daniels is a good friend of mine - we've known each other since 2016 - and a great, great athlete and mentor. He lives in Boulder, Colorado. I've met with Matt in four different countries this year, and we've shared a memorable battle at the Chuckanut 50k in Bellingham WA, in March, where I finished first and he finished second, pushing me all the way to the finish to set a new course record. After a really good first half of the year, Matt struggled to find the right feelings during training and the races he ran reflected his physical and mental condition. In this episode the main theme is the unique connection between the hardships we face in life and those we experience on the trails. We also talk about his training and preparation for Javelina 100m, why he's confident he can be successful at the 100m distance, how his track background has both helped and hindered his training as a trail runner, his experience with the Boulder Boys as athletes and content creators. _______________________ Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@vert.run⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on IG Download our app and sign up to our training plans on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠vert.run⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ You can send us a message with any questions for us or for our guests! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/vertrun/message⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Francesco's links: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Strava⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Our guest has hosted hundreds of patients on ketamine-assisted psychedelic trips and has gone on a few of his own, yet his experience is that dreamwork can be even more profound. Dr. Darren Jakubec is an emergency-room anesthetist and runs a pain clinic in northern British Columbia. Jake talks about his history with dreaming and inner work and then gives an example of working a dream with a pain clinic patient. He describes his experience with a ketamine clinic which he ran for several years, describing psychedelics as an inner work accelerant which uses much of the same language as dreaming. After the break we take a dream share from Steve Popp, co-host of the “In the Garden” program which precedes the Dream Journal on Saturday mornings on KSQD. The dream features powerful spiritual themes which leads us into Jake giving his analogy about psychedelics vs dreaming which he summarizes as fire hose vs garden hose. We take a second dream from Elizabeth from Bellingham WA of a chaotic car trip with a problematic loved one. Books mentioned during the show: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan, and various work by Gabor Mate. He also mentions the Curable app for dealing with chronic pain. BIO: Darren Jakubec, M.D., is trained in family medicine and in anesthesia and lives and practices in northern British Columbia. Darren has been a dreamworker for 12 years and practices dreamwork in his pain clinic, in his ketamine clinic, in the emergency room, and in the hallways and rooms of the hospital where he works.

I speak with Latin GRAMMY-nominated songwriter, producer, artist, activist, chef and friend Alex Wong about his lifelong evolution as an indie music maker and meaning seeker.Whether writing and performing his own award-winning songs or producing albums for such luminaries as Vienna Teng and Delta Rae, Alex has always pushed his work beyond conventional ideas of what it means to be an artist. I would  even say Alex is one of the most authentically integrated creatives I know. Everything he does is absolutely Alex Wong.To wit, in 2023 he launched The Permission Parties, a multi-sensory experience where each track from his upcoming album Permission is paired with a Chinese-inspired dish that shares a common emotion.I attended an earlier iteration of the Permission party series and can attest to both the delicious food and to Alex's ability to create syntheses of meaning by combining his personal past and his creative present.It's always interesting to me to learn why someone wants to write songs, especially songs in the genre loosely called Folk music but which to me means those written from a personal point of view (as opposed to songs expressly created for commercial appeal). We talk about what got Alex into folk and how the twists and turns of his multi-hyphenate career brought him to East Nashville.The last third of this episode features a challenging, maybe even difficult conversation in which Alex and I get into our different approaches to the cultural problems our time. Here is the backstory:In March of 2023 there was a mass shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville, where a trans person killed three children and three adults. You remember. Like everyone else, I was shocked and saddened by the murders and so a few days later I joined several thousand of my neighbors at a vigil downtown. I was disappointed in the ceremony, which to me was a lot less about honoring those poor kids and their families and more about using the opportunity to advance a political agenda. I thought it was tasteless and said so in a short piece posted on Instagram. Alex challenged me in a private exchange. That's the backstory. The Morse Code is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.I brought it up in the podcast. It was hard for me to talk about, and I think for Alex too, but it was respectful and ultimately productive and I hope it inspires more such discussions in the future. It was the most political conversation I've hosted on the Morse Code Podcast and it made me reflect me on my conscious decision to stay away from political topics, not only on the podcast, but in my work generally. I wonder if that choice is the right one.On one hand, it's basic to my personality, this desire to bring people together with my writing and music and to point at what we have in common, what you might call the universalities of being human: falling in love, out of love, being afraid to do something and then doing it anyway, getting old, the crazy mystery that is being alive, that stuff. I'm drawn to novels and songs and artists who are similarly concerned. I've always been that way, starting with my college days in Bellingham Washington with my bluegrass band The Barbed Wire Cutters when I would look out from the stage and see loggers and college kid protestor types sipping beers and dancing, enjoying themselves together. It felt like a momentary truce in a protracted war, and one that sowed hope that a future resolution was possible. Division is the inevitable byproduct of political discussion. Most people don't seem to mind that, and instead are happy to charge headlong into the us versus them framing of every issue under the sun, from gun control to abortion to free speech to trans issues to the opening ceremonies at the Olympics, with the result that we all very nearly hate each other.So I think, why add my timid voice to the screaming match? What good would it do?But there's another side to that argument, which is maybe best phrased by Plato. “If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools.”Its an injunction to participate in a field of battle anathema to my very being. I don't enjoy arguing and I am not one of those people who needs to be right. I just want to be left alone to do my own thing. But that is perhaps cowardly of me. In fact I spend a lot of my free time listening to different arguments on every controversial issue out there, trying to understand both sides of the argument as best I can so that my judgment might be as sound as possible. But I do so privately, for my own sake. Call it part of a lifelong effort to work out my own salvation in fear and trembling.But maybe that's a coward's quest. I think about that. I notice people who put themselves forward for a truth they believe in and I see how they are pilloried and ostracized and ridiculed. Who would want to do that with their one and only life? Answer: people who are called to do it and for whom not speaking up would be the greater sin.I think about what that would look like to join those actors and agitators, and the prospect is an unhappy one. But maybe I should think again. Maybe a nuanced voice is needed. Ugh. It makes me very uncomfortable to write that. Which is probably a clue.To bring it back to Alex and to this podcast, maybe there's a way forward to engage the issues of our time that would be genuinely productive. This conversation is an example of that possibility, and hope.Interspersed with this discussion Alex and I play two songs, one he wrote for his daughter and one he wrote for the Palestine people.

I have something a little special today, this is the entire Friends In Recovery Roundup that was held in Durbin South Africa about a month ago (April 28-29 2023), this was an in-person and zoom event. The roundup is presented here in the same order as it was there, featuring eleven speakers from all over the world. I have to admit a bit of bias here, Dante L, the chairperson of the group that hosted the event reached out to me months before it happened and told me the story of the group and I was routing for their success. Bias aside they did a great job and I really think youll enjoy it, rather than break it up I am uploading it as one podcast. I also want to give a big "well done" to the folks that did the sound recording, impressive. Lastly, Dante kindly provided the description of the event below. The theme for the Rally was "A Daily Reprieve" and our slogan was "FIRRR Real" (Friends in recovery Roundup Rally). This was the first in person event for FIR and all the speakers are home group members of FIR, we came together to celebrate our 3rd year of existence. The Group was born on zoom during Covid and a lot of the speakers got sober in FIR and on zoom.  Speakers spoke on ESH. What comes through in some of the shares is the support one receives from your homegroup and how FIR got some of the speakers started on their Recovery journey. We included Al-Anon speakers also. AA Speakers (listed by sobriety date not in the order you'll hear them) Nina N - Johannesburg SA, Sir David - Austria and Dhiren H - Durban SA (6 to 12 months sober) Charis B - Illinois USA, Charnette H - Cape Town SA and Vuyo I - Johannesburg SA (1 to 3 years sober) Lady Gwyneth - George SA, Tina B - Rhode Island USA, Thami M - Johannesburg SA (15 years to 40 years) Al-Anon Speakers - Nirvasha S - Durban SA and Eddy H - Cape Town SA ----- I just added a couple of items to the event list.
