In the heart of Central Park the Angel of the Waters iconic sculpture graces the Bethesda Fountain since 1873, sculpted by Emma Stebbins. It commemorates New York City's first aqueduct and fresh water brought to the City. The sculpture was originally conceptualized by Emma Stebbins during her long period living in Rome, Italy. While admired for its beauty, it symbolizes much more—love, healing, and rebirth, reflecting the purpose behind its creation.The story of sculptor Emma Stebbins will undoubtedly resonate with listeners as she led a captivating expatriate life in Rome, but over a century ago. In 1856, Emma Stebbins traveled to Rome to pursue her passion for sculpting. There, she became part of a vibrant expatriate community, where American actress Charlotte Cushman was one of the leading figures and eventually became Emma's lover. Italian-born author Maria Teresa Cometto recounts the fascinating story of Emma Stebbins' life and the history of the iconic Angel of the Waters Central Park fountain in her recent book of the same name. Maria Teresa is a dynamic journalist and author based in New York City, a prominent contributor to Italy's top newspaper the Corriere della Sera, and she has written five books.
La Bethesda Fountain est l'une des attractions les plus emblématiques de Central Park à New York. Située au cœur du parc, elle est souvent considérée comme l'une des plus belles fontaines du monde.

L'ange se tient sur un piédestal au-dessus d'un bassin circulaire en granite. Ses ailes sont déployées et elle tient dans ses mains une trompette, symbolisant le pouvoir de l'eau pour donner la vie et la santé.La fontaine est entourée d'un magnifique arc en grès et en calcaire, décoré de sculptures détaillées représentant des scènes de la Bible, notamment celle où Jésus guérit un malade près de la piscine de Bethesda à Jérusalem, d'où la fontaine tire son nom.La Bethesda Fountain est un lieu populaire pour les visiteurs et les habitants de New York, offrant un cadre paisible au milieu de l'agitation de la ville.

Timo and I have too many things in common to list. From an obsession with Tony Kushner's Angels in America, to the importance of recognizing and building personal mythologies, to neo-tribalism and the importance of community, we spent two months in Antigua, Guatemala philosophizing late into the night about all our favorite subjects. Timo was raised in Mormonism and had a successful career in political consulting before focusing on a project around a return to tribal living, where small groups of people live in committed community that gives equal weight to both the individual and the community. If you're interested in spirituality, mythology, tribe, community and belonging, this episode is not to be missed.

Life can be a long, difficult ride and there are times that fill us with despair, especially when giving our best isn’t enough to help us change our circumstances. While we wrestle with fear and uncertainty, God works quietly in the background, filling the gaps in our efforts, carefully nudging us forward so we can keep going. Our guests have held onto their faith as they’ve traveled the winding roads of Western sports: world champion rodeo athlete Tyson Durfey and his wife, country music artist Shea Fisher, and former champion bull rider Cody Custer.
