A short reflection I hope helps one of you as we come to a time of rest and reflection and planning for the future.   Braided rivers in New Zealand are unique as they change often, moving along in the same general direction, but never ever staying exactly the same. Trying to plan every aspect of your life means you'll miss out - to really see new opportunities, you have to be willing to also let directions shift, like a braided river, and go with where the water of new opportunities is flowing. https://theseeds.nz/articles/braided-river-reflection/

Problem-solving the crises of the modern world is often characterized by an economy and architecture of exploitation and instrumentalization, viewing relationships as transactional, efficient, and calculative. But this sort of thinking leaves a remainder of emptiness.Finding hope in a time of crises requires a more human work of covenant and commitment. Based in agrarian principles of stability, place, connection, dependence, interwoven relatedness, and a rooted economy, we can find hope in “Love's Braided Dance” of telling the truth, keeping our promises, showing mercy, and bearing with one another.In this episode, Evan Rosa welcomes Norman Wirzba, the Gilbert T. Rowe Distinguished Professor of Christian Theology at Duke Divinity School, to discuss his recent book Love's Braided Dance: Hope in a Time of Crisis.Together they discuss love and hope through the agrarian principles that acknowledge our physiology and materiality; how the crises of the moment boil down to one factor: whether young people want to have kids of their own; God's love as erotic and how that impacts our sense of self-worth; the “sympathetic attunement” that comes from being loved by a community, a place, and a land; transactional versus covenantal relationships; the meaning of giving and receiving forgiveness in an economy of mercy; and finally the difficult truth that transformation or moral perfection can never replace reconciliation.About Norman WirzbaNorman Wirzba is the Gilbert T. Rowe Distinguished Professor of Christian Theology at Duke Divinity School, as well as director of research at Duke University's Office of Climate and Sustainability. His books include Love's Braided Dance: Hope in a Time of Crisis, Agrarian Spirit: Cultivating Faith, Community, and the Land;This Sacred Life: Humanity's Place in a Wounded World; and Food & Faith.Listen to Norman Wirzba on Food & Faith in Episode 49: "God's Love Made Delicious"Show NotesNorman Wirzba, Love's Braided Dance: Hope in a Time of CrisisHow the crises of the moment boil down to one expression: whether young people want to have kids of their own.How Norman Wirzba became friends with Wendell BerryWendell Berry, The Unsettling of America“Love's Braided Dance” from “In Rain”, a poem by Wendell Berry“You shouldn't forget the land, and you shouldn't forget your grandfather.”Return to agricultural practicesSacred gifts“An agricultural life can afford doesn't guarantee, I think, but it affords the opportunity for you to really handle the fundamentals of life, air, water, soil, plant, tactile  connection that has to, at the same time, be  a practical connection, which means you have to to bring into your handling of things the attempt to understand what you're handling.”AnonymityNorman Wirzba reads Wendell Berry's “In Rain”Hyperconnectivity and the meaning of being “braided together”Love as Erotic Hope—”the first of God's love is an erotic love, which is an outbound love that wants  something other than God to be and to  flourish. And that outbound movement is generated by God's desire for For others to be beautiful, to be good, and I think that's the basis of our lives, right?”Audre Lorde and patriarchyAffirming the goodness of ourselves and the world as created and loved by GodHow the pornographic gaze distorts the meaning of erotic loveDancing as a metaphor for God's erotic loveDeep sympathy and anticipation, and the improvisational movement of danceWoodworking: taking time and negotiation“Sympathetic attunement” and improvisationManaging the unpredictable nature of our worldRevelation of who you are and who the other is—it's hard to reveal ourselves to each otherHonesty and depth that is missing from relationshipsLearning the skill of self-revealingBelonging and Robin Wall Kimmerer's sense that a people could be “loved by the land”Physiological, material reality of our dependence on each other, from womb to tomb“The illusion that we could ever be alone or stand alone or survive alone is so dishonest about our living.”Denying our needs, acknowledging our needs, and inhabiting trust to work through struggle together“It's not about solutions.”“Some of the needs  are profound and deep and they take time and they are  never fully resolved. But it's this experience of knowing that you're not alone, that you're in a context where you are going to be cared for, you'll be nurtured, and you'll be forgiven when you make mistakes means that you can carry on together. And that's often enough.”Transactional vs covenantal approach to relationshipsGranting forgiveness and receiving forgivenessTransformation is not a replacement for reconciliationRather than denying wrongdoing or seeking to eliminate it, focusing on a renewed effort to be merciful with each other.Economy and architecture“So how is the land supposed to love you back if it has in fact been turned into a toxic dumping zone?”“Think about how much fear is in our architecture.”Building was vernacular—people were involved in the development of physical structuresJ.

We're kicking off the second season of the Curl Code by sharing a vulnerable, illuminating, sometimes hilarious and alwways incredible conversation from the launch party of the show last year. This live event brought together curlies and non-curlies of different generations and backgrounds to discuss lived experiences of having curly hair. Regardless of what else we might not have in common, we discovered funny and not-so-funny stories of hair trauma, struggle, and finally, embrace that revealed to us the things we share, and helped us learn about what's changed--and still needs to change--to allow all of us to live as our most authentic selves and embrace our curly crowns. Our non-curly allies helped us understand their own experiences and limitations, and even our wavy and swavy friends got a little reassurance that there is a place for them in the the curl universe too!  This conversation exemplifies the openness, authenticity and healing we stand for in this show, and at the Curly Oasis salon and education platform. We hope you'll find solidarity, companionship, and discovery in this show, and realize that whatever you hair trauma or curl experience may be, you are not alone! Continue your curly hair styling and education journey on our Instagram!

On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Dr. Beth Ricanati, author of “Braided: A Journey of a Thousand Challahs.”   More than 15 years ago, Ricanati started baking challah on Fridays as a self-care ritual. Now, she gives challah workshops–both in person and digitally–around the country to people of all faiths, and speaks about the teachings in her book.   “When you're mixing flour and sugar and watching the yeast bubble, you can't be doing anything else,” Ricanati explains. “I wasn't worrying about my patients, I wasn't worrying about my kids.”    Ricanati says the experience was utterly transformative. Before she knew it, she rearranged her schedule, so she could continue her Friday challah practice. A board-certified internist, Dr. Ricanati now sees patients at the Venice Family Clinic in Los Angeles.    “Particularly since October 7, it has been so meaningful, so resonant, to be able to build community [around] this beautiful ancient ritual,” she says. “When you're standing next to someone and your hands are literally in a bowl of dough, you can really come together and talk.”   Ricanati talks about her challah origin story, the impact of baking challah, and so much more. She also shares her challah recipe, which you can find at JewishJournal.com/podcasts.    Learn more at BethRicanatiMD.com and follow @BethRicanatiMD on Instagram. For more from Taste Buds, subscribe on iTunes and YouTube, and follow @TheDEBMethod on social media.

This was a fun and insightful episode of the podcast! We got to chat with the creative duo behind the beloved "Princess in Black" book series, Shannon and Dean Hale. They shared the backstory on how they came up with the idea - it all started when their young daughter made a comment about princesses not wearing black. Shannon and Dean saw an opportunity to create a superhero princess who protects her kingdom, and the rest is history!  The Hales have such a great collaborative process, bouncing ideas off each other and letting their creativity flow. They emphasized the importance of making reading fun and engaging for kids, especially in that tricky transition from early readers to chapter books. Shannon and Dean wanted to fill that gap with a series that would captivate both younger and older readers through vibrant illustrations and compelling stories. We also heard from author Leah Cypess, who is putting her own spin on classic fairy tales in her "Sisters Ever After" series. Her latest book, "Braided," is a retelling of the Rapunzel story, but from the perspective of Rapunzel's little sister. Leah shared how she loves taking these timeless tales and infusing them with new characters and magical elements, like the sisters' ability to cast spells through their hair braiding. We end the show with a chat with musician turned children's author Carol Selic. Her new book, Play For Me Peter, reminds kids, and adults, that learning to play music is so much fun, but it takes time and practice to learn how to play an instrument.

Now that Judge David S. Tatel has retired from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, he feels freer to warn us all: the Supreme Court is threatening America's democracy by inventing spurious legal doctrines and grabbing more power for itself. There are also lighter moments in this revealing interview, as David pulls the curtain aside and tells us how the judges on this powerful court really do their work. Spoiler alert #1: It used to involve a red children's sand pail. Spoiler alert #2: Because David is blind, he used to hire "readers" who rattled off every word of laws, books and briefs out loud to him, at such mind-boggling speeds that most people couldn't understand them.

With his wife, Edie, he describes how he struggled to hide his gradual loss of sight from friends and colleagues alike - including tricks like counting rows and seats in a movie theater and following the clicks of high heels. Meanwhile, David became an accomplished lawyer who fought landmark civil rights cases. You can read their full story in David's new book, Vision: A Memoir of Blindness and Justice.

Letting go of All the tension  In your muscles, And any aches and pains. Just let them go. LONG PAUSE Take a deep breath, A cleansing, purifying breath, A breath that releases tension, And brings calm to you. LONG PAUSE Now, imagine if you can, Sitting on the ground, With a beautiful, statuesque older woman. PAUSE The woman has hair, Braided in mazes, On top of her head. Her eyes are like shiny onyx, And her skin glows, In the sun.  PAUSE Together, you sit cross-legged on the ground. The woman weaves a basket With black, brown and golden strands. PAUSE Several minutes pass in silence. Then the woman, Shows you the basket, With a magnificent spider design woven into it. “The spider knows balance,” she says. “Close your eyes, breathe, And feel balance in your life.” PAUSE After a moment, You feel a calmness, A centeredness, A balance, Like the nimble spider. The woman smiles. PAUSE The woman sets the Spider basket aside, And takes out another basket. After weaving for a few minutes, She shows you a basket with  a beautiful flower design. PAUSE She gives you the basket to hold, And you run your fingers over the strands.  They're surprisingly soft. PAUSE After moments of silence, The basket weaver speaks again. “The flower knows natural beauty,” she says. “Close your eyes, breathe, “And see your natural beauty.” PAUSE After a moment of closing your eyes, And going inward, You see light around yourself, Light that shines from the inside out. And you recognize and embrace Your natural beauty. The woman smiles. PAUSE The woman sets the flower basket aside, And reaches for another. This basket is different, though. It is completed, but there are no colors,  no designs. Just simple golden strands. PAUSE After a moment, The woman speaks. “This basket carries food, Nourishment for our people. It understands what the Self needs to sustain.” PAUSE Holding the basket, You close your eyes And are flooded  With images of ways  To care for yourself.  Ways you've either ignored or not known. PAUSE As you open your eyes, The basket changes. Designs of spiders, flowers, Houses, trees, patterns, and more, Appear on the basket. PAUSE After a moment, The basket weaver speaks. “The basket is yours,” she says. “It will come with you always. When you need to care for yourself, Just look into it. What you need will appear.” PAUSE Imagine, gingerly, running your fingers Over the designs, Knowing that they were created Just for you. Knowing that they hold the keys To your well-being. PAUSE Now, envision closing your eyes again,  Breathing deeply, peacefully, And seeing the basket Weave its way into your consciousness, So it is there, With its contents, Whenever you need or want it. NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL

Not too long ago, but in a place far away in the rolling prairies of Nebraska, a young girl named Willa Cather grew up under the vast, open skies. Her life was not just a story of growing up in the American heartland, but a journey into the heart of storytelling itself.   Willa's early days were filled with the kind of adventures that would one day find their way into her books. She often wandered through the fields, her imagination as boundless as the prairies themselves. These wanderings were not just walks through grass and wildflowers, but journeys through time and space in her mind.

In this week's episode of The Book I Had to Write, I talk with Margo Steines, the author of Brutalities: A Love Story.This memoir-in-essays documents her journey through a series of extreme experiences including her time as a pro dom, a welder on a high-rise crew, her addictions to exercise, her interest in MMA fighting, and more.We talk about her journey to discovering the power of the braided essay—in her case, a combination of memoir, essay, research, and reporting—that allowed her to write about several difficult experiencees “in conversation with one another.”We also discuss other key issues for anyone engaged in memoir: about her commitment to truth in her writing, the challenges of self-exposure, finding confidence in one's writing, and how to write about difficult material without retraumatizing yourself.Some of my biggest takeaways:How pain can reveal an authentic self: The concept of pain and its role in self-discovery is a central theme in Brutalities. Steines explores her own fascination with physical extremes, such as her enthusiasm with MMA fighting and her dedication (bordering on addiction) to intense physical exercise, even (most difficult for me) an early fascination with being hit in the face.I admired Steines's approach to truth-telling in her work. In an author's note at the beginning of Brutalities, Steines described the challenges of writing memoir and the limitations of memory.Writing about violence and physical extremes is hard work… Steines says mining her own experiences was emotionally and psychologically challenging.…yet it was the emotional intimacy of her current relationship that proved even harder to render: “The parts that were the hardest to write were actually the memoir, interstitial pieces about my partner... It felt like it broke me open in a certain way,” she says.Writing can be both a means of self-exposure and self-acceptance: “Once I tell the truth on the page, I can't redact it to myself anymore,” she says.Steines's needed the unconventional form of the braided essay to get closer to her own truth. She describes the braided essay as a hybrid of memoir, essay, cultural criticism, and immersion journalism. This form allows her to bring together multiple strands of thought and experience, creating resonance between seemingly unrelated ideas.Speaking of structure, finding the final form for her book also proved challenging. Steines had to navigate the balance between narrative storytelling and idea exploration, ensuring that each essay contributed to the overall theme of the book.As a teacher, one of her jobs is helping writers find a sense of agency in their own writing. She tells me she believes that writers already possess the resources they need within themselves and that her role as a teacher is to provide hard skills and belief in their own convictions.Writing about trauma without retraumatizing oneself is key for writers of difficult personal material. She'll be broaching that subject at an AWP panel this February. She acknowledges the importance of self-care and (somatic experiencing) therapy in navigating the emotional challenges.Check out more of Margo Steines's work* Buy Brutalities: A Love Story via Amazon | Bookshop | W.W.

Curl Stylist Sydnei Cave grew up with a lot of the same "curl wisdom" as many women of color. Oil your scalp, braid your hair, use relaxers. But, as she became educated in hair science and curl styling, Syd increasingly understood that those approaches were based in a philosophy of beauty generations before her had adopted as a legacy of slavery. First, absorbing society's attempts to keep women of African descent as "tame" as possible, to control them and then, as Black women in the United States fought for civil rights, to present themselves as close to whiteness as possible to be taken seriously, and be heard. While she understands and respects the experiences of her elders, Syd is part of a generation which sees--and is starting to do--things differently.  On this episode of the Curl Code, Oasis Curl Salon's youngest stylist educates Wafaya on how far her vision of natural hair has come since her childhood, and how she thinks her generation, and hopefully one day, the world, will see things differently.   MORE from this episode:  Ubuntu: an African philosophical concept of oneness popularized to English-speakers by Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/469 Presented By: Daiichi, Trxstle, Mavrk Fly Fishing, Bearvault  Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors Today we're kicking off with Part 1 of an exciting two-part series focusing on stillwater fly lines. We're going to get an understanding of why you need multiple lines to be consistently successful on lakes, and we'll be taking a close look at different types of floating lines to help you make informed choices and get the most bang for your buck. Throughout this two-part series, we'll explore Phil's impressive collection of 20 stillwater fly lines, uncovering the secrets behind each line's purpose and functionality. Phil will also guide us through selecting the three fly lines you should consider having with you at all times. Stillwater Fly Lines Show Notes with Phil Rowley 04:12 -  When it comes to river and stream fishing, an excellent floating line will last you a long time and allow you to present your fly using various techniques. But the multitude of available fly lines can be overwhelming and intimidating when it comes to lakes. 07:25 - Phil carries over 20 fly lines in his kit bag because he likes to be prepared for different fishing situations. 09:07 - Some people think the only way stillwater fly fishermen fish lakes is with a strike indicator and a floating line. Phil says it is a deadly presentation technique he uses all the time, but it is NOT the only way to catch fish when fishing lakes. Factors to Consider When Choosing a Fly Line 10:19 - Wind is an essential factor, and a weight-forward line helps manage the wind and achieve longer casts to cover more water and increase the chances of catching fish. 11:13 - When Phil first started, double taper lines were popular. It provided a more delicate presentation when fishing to surface-feeding fish, particularly in rivers and streams, but you also had to cast a lot to get that line speed built up to cover any distance. A weight forward line has the weight concentrated in the first 30 to 40 feet, allowing for efficient casting and generating line speed. 12:41 - Another thing to consider is the depth of the water. We need lines to sink at different rates to present our flies at different depths. 13:00 - The retrieve speed is also crucial. You need to have a line that will sink slowly as well, so the sink rate of the line doesn't overpower the horizontal retrieve speed you're using to imitate what you're trying to imitate. 13:36 - Fish activity is also closely correlated with retrieve speed. When fish are active and aggressive, faster-sinking lines can be used. 14:31 - Phil also stresses the importance of being versatile, as relying on a single presentation technique can limit success. The best time to try out a new line is when fishing conditions are favorable. How Fly Lines Are Made 17:08 - Different line requirements and fishing environments influence fly line manufacturers' design. The outer coating determines its weight, buoyancy, color, and slickness, while the core of the fly line is where its strength lies. The different types are: Multifilament cores Braided monofilament cores Monofilament cores Low-stretch cores 18:40 - Stiffer cores, like monofilament cores, help provide tight loops and good line speed. Manufacturers offer a variety of lines tailored to specific fishing disciplines to ensure better enjoyment and meet the needs of anglers on the water. 22:57 - Different presentation challenges require different line profiles and tapers to be successful. For example, casting indicators and long leaders need a different line profile and taper than fishing dries, emerges, or lightly weighted nymphs. 24:22 - Besides indicators, Phil loves to fish with long leaders, known as the naked technique. 25:06 - Phil uses the RIO Elite Technical Trout line. This line has a long taper line that provides excellent turnover and delicate presentation. 24:45 - Low-stretch fly lines are less elastic than regular multifilament core lines. Low-stretch lines offer benefits during fish fights by efficiently transferring rod actions to the fish, allowing anglers to tire the fish more quickly in catch-and-release scenarios. Phil Rowley's Guide to 20 Essential Stillwater Fly Lines 30:15 - Phil Rowley discusses the use of floating lines in Stillwater fly fishing, specifically focusing on their application for indicator presentations, the naked technique, and floating lines for dries, emergers, and unweighted or lightly weighted nymphs in shallow water situations. Floating Lines for Indicators and the Naked Technique 30:53 - When looking for a line to cast an indicator or the naked technique, it is essential to have a line designed for that purpose. These lines have oversized heads and maybe one and a half to two line weights heavier to provide the necessary mass for turning over indicators and long leaders. 35:14 - Phil is a big proponent of using the roll cast when fishing with indicators. Roll casting keeps the indicator, leader, flies, and accessories close to the water, minimizing the risk of tangles until the final push and presentation of the fly. 36:10 - Color changes on fly lines aid in identifying the head section, running line, and overall casting distance, which is crucial for indicator fishing and gauging depths. Dries and Emergers  39:04 - When fishing dries, emerges, and lightly weighted nymphs in shallow water scenarios, a specific line is desired that allows for delicate presentations. Phil recommends the RIO Elite Technical Trout line. Midge Tip and Emerger Tip Fly Lines 44:15 - These are floating lines with an integrated tip section. These lines can have a clear tip section that sinks at 1.5 inches per second. Phil says these are excellent lines for fishing using the naked technique and for windy conditions. 47:30 - Phil also uses these fly lines to fish dry flies and mergers. Additionally, they can be used for a technique called the washing line. Phil says this is perhaps one of the most underrated Stillwater lines out there but one of the most valuable ones. Stillwater Fly Line Count  A floating line for indicators A floating line for the naked technique A floating line for dries and emerges Three-foot midge tip sinking at an inch and a half per second Six-foot clear midge tip sinking at an inch and a half per second Three-foot hover tip sinking at one inch per second Six-foot hover tip sinking at one inch per second Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/469

It's fascinating to witness the tested difference in performance when a knot is applied to two distinct types of line! Can you guess how well the Homer Rhode Knot held up in this rigorous trial? Share your thoughts! What knot should Tom tie and test next? Let us know your ideas!
