Have you ever done anything in the Mustang enthusiast community that turned out to be a transformational experience? You might be surprised to know that through the stories that many of you have shared with us, it happens more often than you might think. That's why when Gale Halderman's daughter, Karen, showed us a thank-you note she received from Sharon Hansen after a visit to the Halderman Mustang Museum with her husband and her son, we knew you'd want to know about it.John and Mike had enjoyed a wonderful friendship with the late Mustang designer and have been frequent visitors to the Halderman Barn Museum, managed by Karen and her own daughter, Lauren. There's no doubt the place has special vibe all its own, and the note from Sharon to Karen explains it in a way that helps bring Mustang's history to life, both through Gale's “Mustang By Design” book that she bought that day – and though the kindness that Karen offered the touring family on the day they stopped by.This episode shares the thank-you note and explains how the museum tour provided Sharon an epiphany of sorts about the Mustang, its design history and Mustang people like the Haldermans who power Mustang fandom and can make impactful connections with people. Our thanks to Sharon Hansen for allowing us this glimpse at her Mustang story that she never expected to be made public. If being at a Mustang event or place has left a big impression on you, email us at jclor@CarsInContext.com and let's explore how your experience could make for an interesting episode on our podcast!

Today is day 243 and we are studying A Rule of Prayer: Prayer. 243. How should you pray in times of suffering? I should pray trusting in the sufficiency of God's grace and in joyful assurance that “suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame.” (Romans 5:3–5; see also Job 23; Psalm 22; John 12:23–26; 2 Corinthians 1:3–5; 1 Peter 4:12–19) We will conclude today with the Collect for the Fourth Sunday of Epiphany found on page 602 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Hello to you listening wherever your feet touch the ground! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.   Bernard Moitessier sailed around the world single-handed to win the first Golden Globe Race but when the reward was within his grasp he turned away from it and kept sailing for another three months because to keep on the original route (Plymouth to Plymouth) was like “leaving from nowhere to go nowhere.” [The Long Way by Bernard Moitessier]  Winning this race had no connection with Moitessier's true goal which was to “reach a point in space and consciousness that would enable him to bear witness to the beauty and complexity of the natural world. And to glimpse, however briefly, the sort of person he might become if he permitted himself to cross a kind of international dateline of the soul and merge with those things.” In the end he realized what many of us come to know in time: the journey itself was the destination. Story Prompt: What if the intention of an endeavor is to forge a connection inside yourself? What if the reward to the endeavor lays not in the result to which you were ostensibly striving but in the simple doing of the thing? Write that story and share it out loud!

My next book, Productiveness, arrives this September. It's about the difference between doing more and doing what matters, and how we lost the ability to tell them apart. I'll send the release date the day it's set. Visit https://mikevardy.com/productiveness to learn more.This month's PM Talks starts with a confession: I've had an epiphany, and I don't use that word lightly. Somewhere between an "aha, I get it now" moment and what I can only describe as a holy moment is a distinction most of us never bother making — and once you start looking for the difference, you start noticing which of your own realizations actually deserved the weight you gave them.Patrick Rhone and I use this month's conversation to pull that distinction apart: the difference between a dawning recognition and a genuine unlocking, why holding an idea loosely lets it unfold instead of unravel, and how something as small as what his daughter calls a credit card turned into a real look at the nature-versus-nurture question neither of us can fully answer. I don't give away the specifics of the epiphany I'm sitting with this month — some things need more than one episode to explain — but the shape of it, and what to do with a moment like that once it arrives, is exactly what we get into.Six Discussion PointsAn "aha moment" is a small recognition — oh, I get it now — while a full epiphany carries a much heavier, more disorienting weight; treating every insight as the second kind burns you out.Real epiphanies tend to arrive with equal parts fear and fascination — the discomfort isn't a sign to back away, it's part of what makes the moment significant.Holding an idea loosely gives it room to unfold; gripping it tightly is what causes it to unravel instead — the difference between disassembling something on purpose and watching it fall apart.Genetic or predisposition information (like a cholesterol test result) doesn't eliminate the value of lifestyle choice — it just narrows the range you're actually choosing within.Big epiphanies rarely land once and disappear; they tend to keep resurfacing for days or weeks afterward, the way aftershocks follow an earthquake.The right response to a major realization is often reflection, not immediate action — sitting with it, journaling about it, letting it keep unfolding before trying to "do" anything with it.Three Connection PointsRead more from Patrick RhoneCatch up on past issues of The Lantern (and more)ProductivenessI'm not going to tell you what the epiphany was — not yet, anyway. What I will say is that if something's been quietly resurfacing in your own life for years without your noticing why, it might be worth sitting with it instead of trying to explain it away.

In this episode, I welcome back friend of the show and galactic soul sister Gail Lynn, creator and visionary behind the Harmonic Egg.Gail shares the journey that led her from automotive engineering, telecommunications, and Hollywood into the world of sound, light, sacred geometry, and vibrational healing. We explore the origins and global expansion of the Harmonic Egg, along with the mysterious possibility that each Egg carries a living consciousness and remains energetically connected to the others around the world.From remote sessions and the energetic signatures of the land to galactic healing chambers, ancient technologies, dragon portals, and bi-location, this conversation moves deep into the stranger dimensions of the Harmonic Egg experience.At the heart of the episode is the frequency of integrity. Gail and I discuss the energy behind healers, musicians, companies, products, and technologies, as well as the difference between service and greed. We also explore audio quality, the importance of uncompressed WAV files, and Gail's new affordable app, created to make the Harmonic Egg music library accessible anywhere.We also discuss Marcy Dean's Love Evolved music and her Harmonic Egg piece “Epiphany,” Ross Kronick's reggae-inspired track “Answer,” Gail's work with animals, and the possibility of future sound-and-light technology for horses and other creatures.www.harmonicegg.com Gail Lynn Bio:Gail Lynn Bio:Gail Lynn, was first exposed to sound and light healing while working in the film industry as an executive producer for a movie about Elvis Presley called Protecting the King. When Gail's doctor diagnosed her with severe cardiovascular stress at the young age of 37, caused by an accumulation of stress from two challenging relationships and three successive and extremely competitive careers in the automotive and telecommunications industries, and then as a Hollywood producer, she knew that she had to find a radical solution to her health issues. Extensive research led her into the world of frequencymedicine and light and sound technologies.After just a weekend of sessions with a non-invasive sound and light chamber, her Heart RateVariability medical test showed the stress on her heart had significantly decreased. Unable to believe it could have been that easy, she continued sessions periodically for three years, during which a lifelong condition ofchronic asthma disappeared, along with severe migraines that had been plaguing her for 23 years.Determined to help others and open her own healing Center in Denver, Colorado, Gail simultaneously set out to uncover the ancient history and the modern science behind light and sound as healing therapies. Followinga series of extraordinary synchronicities, which guided her to combine light and sound technologies with sacred geometry and Tesla mathematics, she developed a revolutionary immersive, resonance healing chamber called the Harmonic Egg, which is advancing frequency healing to an unimagined level.

As part of our Best of the Known Legacy Podcast series, we're revisiting one of our most fascinating conversations—Episode 244 with Geoff Barker. Geoff spent years at the top of his profession, training world-class athletes, celebrities, and elite performers. He even found himself in the spotlight as one of Australia's iconic Gladiators. From the outside, he appeared to have everything—success, recognition, and influence. But deep inside, he knew something was still missing. In this powerful episode, Geoff shares the incredible journey that led him to walk away from everything he had built and spend seven years searching for the truth. His story is one of surrender, transformation, and discovering that the life we chase can never compare to the life God has planned for us. If you've ever wondered whether there's more to life than success, achievement, or the next accomplishment, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

To the Manger and Beyond: A Devotional for Advent and Epiphany by Terry W. Eddinger Terryweddinger.com https://www.amazon.com/Manger-Beyond-Devotional-Advent-Epiphany/dp/B0H3L58QJT/ To the Manger and Beyond: A Devotional for Advent and Epiphany is a Scripture-centered devotional that guides readers through the biblical story of Jesus' birth, from Old Testament prophecy to the return of the holy family to Nazareth. Organized as a chronological journey, the book traces God's redemptive plan across nearly 1,800 years, beginning with messianic promises in the Hebrew Scriptures and culminating in the incarnation of Christ. The devotional is divided into five major sections: prophetic foundations for the Messiah, the birth of John the Baptist as forerunner, the annunciation to Mary and Joseph, the birth and early presentation of Jesus, and the visit of the Magi. Each devotion focuses on a specific biblical passage, offering historical, cultural, and theological insight to deepen understanding of the text. Rather than following traditional Advent themes, the book emphasizes close reading of Scripture and situates each event within its broader biblical and historical context.

Today is day 203 and we are on the section The Sixth Petition: "And lead us not into temptation". 203. What is temptation? Temptation is any enticement to turn from faith in God and to violate his commandments. (Proverbs 1:8–19; James 1:14–15) We will conclude today with The Collect for the Fourth Sunday of Epiphany found on page 602 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Finding Hidden Inspiration: Søren's Musical Epiphany Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2026-07-22-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Søren stod i København og betragtede de blinkende lys, der snoede sig gennem Tivoli Gardens.En: Søren stood in København and watched the twinkling lights winding through Tivoli Gardens.Da: Det var sommer, og lydene af latter, musik og duften af sukkerfløde og brændte mandler fyldte luften.En: It was summer, and the sounds of laughter, music, and the scent of sugary cream and roasted almonds filled the air.Da: Men Søren følte sig tom indeni.En: But Søren felt empty inside.Da: Tivoli's årlige sommerkoncertserie havde startet, og som en passioneret musiker havde han håbet på at finde inspiration til nye melodier her.En: Tivoli's annual summer concert series had begun, and as a passionate musician, he had hoped to find inspiration for new melodies here.Da: Alle omkring ham var i festhumør.En: Everyone around him was in a festive mood.Da: Tivolis hovedscene var pakket med mennesker, både lokale og turister, der svajede til musikkens rytme.En: Tivoli's main stage was packed with people, both locals and tourists, swaying to the rhythm of the music.Da: Maja, Sørens veninde, vinkede til ham, mens hun dansede til en velkendt popsang.En: Maja, Søren's friend, waved at him while dancing to a familiar pop song.Da: "Kom nu, Søren!"En: "Come on, Søren!"Da: råbte hun med et smil.En: she shouted with a smile.Da: Men Søren kunne ikke få sig selv til at slå sig løs.En: But Søren couldn't get himself to let loose.Da: Tonerne var for velkendte, for jævne til at tænde hans kreative gnist.En: The tunes were too familiar, too ordinary to ignite his creative spark.Da: Søren smilede til Maja og besluttede at trække sig tilbage fra menneskemængden.En: Søren smiled at Maja and decided to withdraw from the crowd.Da: Han begyndte at vandre gennem haven, væk fra larmen.En: He began to wander through the garden, away from the noise.Da: Ved en lille stensætning sad Anton, en ven fra musikuniversitetet, og spillede lavmælt på sin guitar.En: By a small stone enclosure sat Anton, a friend from the music university, playing softly on his guitar.Da: Anton nikkede i anerkendelse, men Søren bevægede sig videre.En: Anton nodded in acknowledgment, but Søren moved on.Da: Han var på udkig efter noget helt andet.En: He was looking for something entirely different.Da: På sin tur opdagede Søren en skjult lille pavillon, kun belyst af nogle få lanterner.En: On his stroll, Søren discovered a hidden little pavilion, illuminated only by a few lanterns.Da: Her sad en gademusikant, alene og i sin egen verden.En: Here, a street musician sat, alone and in his own world.Da: Gademusikanten spillede med lukkede øjne, og hver tone var fyldt med en sådan dybde og følelse, at det ramte Søren lige i hjertet.En: The street musician played with closed eyes, and each note was filled with such depth and emotion that it struck Søren right in the heart.Da: Musikken var enkel, men rå og ærlig.En: The music was simple, yet raw and honest.Da: Søren kunne mærke, hvordan musikken begyndte at vække noget i ham.En: Søren could feel how the music began to awaken something in him.Da: Han satte sig ned på en nærliggende bænk og lukkede øjnene, mens tonerne flød gennem natten.En: He sat down on a nearby bench and closed his eyes as the notes flowed through the night.Da: Øjeblikket var magisk, og Søren mærkede, hvordan ideerne væltede ind over ham.En: The moment was magical, and Søren felt how the ideas started pouring in.Da: Han tog sin notesbog op af tasken og begyndte at skrible melodier ned, der kom til ham i en strøm.En: He took his notebook out of his bag and began jotting down melodies that came to him in a stream.Da: Da gademusikanten tog en pause, gik Søren hen til ham.En: When the street musician paused, Søren walked over to him.Da: "Tak," sagde Søren og rakte hånden frem.En: "Thank you," Søren said, extending his hand.Da: "Dit spil har inspireret mig."En: "Your playing has inspired me."Da: Gademusikanten smilede varmt og nikkede.En: The street musician smiled warmly and nodded.Da: "Musik er overalt, min ven.En: "Music is everywhere, my friend.Da: Nogle gange skal man bare lytte."En: Sometimes you just have to listen."Da: Med fornyet energi gik Søren tilbage gennem Tivoli Gardens, mens de små lys blinkede over ham.En: With renewed energy, Søren walked back through Tivoli Gardens, while the little lights twinkled above him.Da: Han kunne ikke vente med at komme hjem og arbejde videre med de nye melodier.En: He couldn't wait to get home and work further on the new melodies.Da: For Søren var det en vigtig opdagelse.En: For Søren, it was

The end of the 70s and, in some ways, the end of an era. Starting with Cabaret, we have traced the changes happening in theater in the wake of the end of the Golden Age. More mature themes and language, less traditional storytelling, new kinds of music, and simply a broader range of acceptable topics -- all of these changes and more occurred extrmely rapidly. And while it's hard to pinpoint exact when this period ended, Sweeney Todd feels like as good as a place as any. An artistic masterpiece, a Tony triumph, a cultural landmark, but ultimately a commercial failure, and maybe the last big swing that Broadway was willing to tolerate for a while. We talk all this, and more, with "Epiphany." Two editor's notes: Sweeney Tood is not exactly a family friendly show, so listener discretion is advise, though I have removed the swear word from the song itself. Also, Shannon's audio track had some issues and she sounds a bit strange. Our apologies.

“The book is about the opposite of the eureka moment,” says science writer Roberta Kwok about her new book, LOST IN CURIOSITY: Field Notes From Scientists' Adventures into the Unknown. Join us in a conversation about the difficulties and gifts of showing up day after day. We talk about patience, wrestling with process, and the long slow path to epiphany–in science and in creative endeavors. We talk, too, about how to choose the right people to interview for a book based on research, how the body may or may not be a part of creative process, the possibility that walking is not the most important tool in a writer's toolbox, and the thrill of collaboration.Roberta Kwok is a science writer whose work has appeared in The New York Times, NewYorker.com, Nature, New Scientist, Audubon, and otherpublications. She has received a fellowship from the Knight Science Journalism Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a grant from the Alfred P.

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. Have you ever noticed how often Jesus was interrupted? It's kind of amazing how often people seemingly derailed what Jesus was doing so that He might see their situation. You've got to be pretty audacious (or desperate) to interrupt a respected rabbi while He's teaching!While Jesus was addressing John the Baptist's disciples, explaining why His ministry was blowing up their paradigms—they were trying to put His new Messianic wine into their old culturally acceptable wineskins—Jesus was interrupted. While Jesus was talking, Jairus knelt before Jesus, desperate for Jesus to raise His daughter back to life (Matthew 9.18). Jesus dropped everything and went with Him. He wasn't angry. He didn't make Him wait. Jesus heard his interruption and went with him. But no sooner did Jesus turn the corner when He felt a tug on His tunic. A woman with a persistent hemorrhage, which had plagued her for twelve years, was desperate too. She crouched through the crowd believing if she simply touched the hem of His garment she would be healed (an interruption inside an interruption!). We might be tempted, if we were Jairus, to tell her to get in line, take a number, and wait her turn. Our situation is time sensitive. But the truth is, Jesus is able to address all our needs. He can speak resurrection and restoration into all our lives (28.18). Reading these miracles again, as if for the first time, we see a Savior willing to be interrupted because He cares. His love for us is so great He goes with us. Even if all He needed to do was speak a word, He still walks with us to bring resurrection into our world. He still draws close enough to us where we can reach out and touch Him.Beloved, Jesus understands our needs and is willing to be interrupted and walk with us, to care for us, to turn to us and speak encouragement into our lives. Yes, Jesus is fully God, so He's able to meet our need. In the Gospel, we also see He is fully human, like us “in every respect, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest” (Hebrews 2.17). Friend, don't be shy today. Jesus is waiting to be interrupted.

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal.Jesus has such a powerful way of showing us who we are in the Father's eyes. His disciples are perfect examples of this truth. Where Mark wrote of John and his brother as the “Sons of Thunder”—which has to be the most woefully under-utilized rock band name of all time—because of their fiery tempers (Mark 3.17), John saw himself in Christ as beloved (John 13.23; 19.26; 20.2; 21.7; 21.20; 21.24). The same is true for Matthew. Mark and Luke tell the story of Matthew's calling, but they intentionally refer to him as Levi (that designation is important). But for Matthew writing his gospel, remembering the day Jesus found him despised and disdained by his countrymen, sitting in a tax collector's booth, Matthew shares the name which Jesus used to redefine his life. The former tax collector tells us, “As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, ‘Follow me'" (Matthew 9.9a).At the heart of this story is man who the world called anything but “Matthew.” The Hebrew name Matthew means, “Gift of the Lord,” which was the last thing his neighbors saw. He was called a tax collector. He was called a sinner. He was an embarrassment, a sellout. He worked for Herod the Tetrarch, subservient to the Roman Empire. He was, to the Pharisees and the people around him, irredeemably unclean. But to Jesus, he was Matthew. Stop and read that again. To Jesus, Matthew was a gift from God, a purposeful creation made in the hands of the Master (Psalm 139.14-18).Friend, maybe you feel like that despised tax collector today. Maybe your soul is sporting a black eye from the blows of a broken society. You feel frozen by your sin in the eyes of those around you. But Jesus, the Son of God, sees you as a gift of God. He sees you where you are and calls you by name to follow Him. Jesus loves you. He passed by your way to reveal God's love for you, and for those around you. Beloved, today, hear Jesus' personal call to discipleship and walk in His way.

I've decided the problem with my entire life is I'm too green and amateurish and probably should have gotten a communications degree at Emerson. Can I just make up for it by watching videos on YouTube? We recount our lengthy travel day and Daniel's given up caffeine. Also he potentially cheated on me with me.

Ana said, pointing to the beautifully arranged gardens of Kalemegdan.Sr: Они су уживали, али Никола је био далек.En: They were enjoying themselves, but Nikola was distant.Sr: Одлучио је да се удаљи на тренутак.En: He decided to step away for a moment.Sr: Пожелео је тишину да размисли о Видовдану, дану који је носио историјски значај и велику тежину.En: He longed for silence to reflect on Vidovdan, a day that carried historical significance and great weight.Sr: Прошавши кроз древне капије, нашао је место поред старог топа, на ивици где су се Савa и Дунав сусретали.En: Passing through the ancient gates, he found a spot next to an old cannon, on the edge where the Sava and Danube rivers met.Sr: Сунце је полако залазило, бојећи небо златом и руменилом.En: The sun was slowly setting, painting the sky with gold and blush.Sr: Док је седео тамо, звона су почела да звоне за Видовдан.En: As he sat there, the bells began to ring for Vidovdan.Sr: Тишина је била дубока и умирујућа.En: The silence was deep and soothing.Sr: Гледајући реке и град у позадини, Никола је одједном стекао осећај мира.En: Gazing at the rivers and the city in the background, Nikola suddenly felt a sense of peace.Sr: Схватио је да не мора све одједном знати.En: He realized he didn't have to know everything at once.Sr: Прошлост, коју је Калемегдан представљао, била је сведок многих неизвесности, али и нових почетака.En: The past, which Kalemegdan represented, had witnessed many uncertainties but also new beginnings.Sr: Устао је са новим осећајем снаге и вратио се до Ане и Светлане.En: He stood up with a newfound sense of strength and returned to Ana and Svetlana.Sr: „Наше историје се настављају. Ништа није сигурно, али то је у реду,“ рекао им је са осмехом.En: "Our histories continue. Nothing is certain, but that's okay," he told them with a smile.Sr: Они су га топло загрлили, разумејући његову новопронађену одлучност.En: They embraced him warmly, understanding his newly found resolve.Sr: Тако су се њих троје, пријатељи и породица, са више мира и наде вратили у град, остављајући за собом древне зидине Калемегдана.En: Thus, the three of them, friends and family, returned to the city with more peace and hope, leaving behind the ancient walls of Kalemegdan.Sr: Никола је знао да је, иако путеви живота могу бити несигурни, његова душа сада више отворена и спремна за све што будућност доноси.En: Nikola knew that even though the paths of life might be uncertain, his soul was now more open and ready for whatever the future might bring.

The Author Events Series presents M Lin | The Memory Museum: Stories In Conversation with 'Pemi Aguda Stretching from the present day to the near future, from China to America and beyond, M Lin's piercing and melodious debut captures the spirit of China's One-Child Generation as its characters navigate homes and cultures, hopes and contradictions, survival and resistance. These frank, tender, and playful stories offer profound insight into the ambivalence of migration, the perverse ways race and class can operate, and what it means to be Chinese today. The collection begins with ''Scenes from Childhood,'' in which a lonely, elderly woman in a dystopian reality remembers her grandfather's village. In ''Magic, or Something Less Assuring,'' a politically divided couple goes on a divorce honeymoon in Morocco. ''You Won't Read This in the News'' features four migrant workers during one night of petty theft and connection. In ''Tough Egg,'' a filmmaker thwarted by censorship untangles her fraught relationship to motherhood. Other stories portray a photographer reuniting with her first love in Beijing; the historic White Paper protests that ended the zero-COVID policy; and generations into the future, a newly instated Memory Museum where two sensory architects share their vision for a utopian world. With daring political and creative commitment, The Memory Museum brims with joy even as Lin exposes the knife's edge between powerlessness and agency, pain and intimacy, our memories and our futures. M Lin is a Chinese writer living in the US. Her stories have appeared in Ploughshares, Swamp Pink, Joyland, Epiphany, Fence, and Best Debut Short Stories 2023, and her nonfiction can be read in The New York Times, Guernica, The Rumpus, and elsewhere.

Day Of Epiphany by Canadian author/actor, Jerome J Bourgault is the recent winner of CANREADS Award for Historical Fiction 2026, available now on Amazon and Indigo.   Bourgault's highly anticipated book is an exploration of a dark chapter in Canadian and specifically Quebecois history: the “Grande Noirceur” (“Great Darkness”) of 1944–1959.  The Catholic Church wielded its influence through the provincial government, controlling education, healthcare and orphanages. Day of Epiphany is both powerful and unsettling, as it examines the systemic abuse and scars left by religious institutions.  An uncomfortable reminder, some would prefer left alone…   Day Of Epiphany delivers why in shocking detail.Day of Epiphany takes place in 1950s Quebec as the province languishes under the oppressive dual authorities of the Roman Catholic Church and the autocratic government of Maurice Duplessis.  In the small town of St-Jolain, young Sister Cassandra Lalonde works tirelessly as a teacher at the Ste-Madeleine (Ste-M) Orphanage. It's a difficult life for the children, but Cassandra has hope for four of Ste-M's best and brightest young teens—Suzanne, Hélène, Diane, and Eleanora, with whom she has forged a powerful bond.  Day Of Epiphany is their journey. After an explosion closes the orphanage, the nuns and children return to find the rebuilt facility has been re-designated by the Duplessis government as a psychiatric hospital, and the orphans have been “reclassified” as mental patients. To make matters worse, Ste-M has been merged with a notoriously brutal psychiatric hospital from another parish, whose patients and staff are fully integrated with the resident population of the new Sainte-Madeleine Institute. In the living nightmare that follows, Sister Cassandra struggles to recognize God's hand in such darkness. As casualties begin to mount, Cassandra must resort to increasingly drastic measures to protect those under her care.  Bourgault's Day Of Epiphany is a must-read story of moral complexity, personal resilience, loss and redemption. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Bliss in Triple Rhythm–A Toolbox for Poets: Nine Ways to Shape A Word Song: Shown in 300 Original Poems by Martin Bidney https://www.amazon.com/Bliss-Triple-Rhythm-Toolbox-Poets/dp/1987402561 Mmartinbidney.org This book of word songs in unexpected melodic patterns will surprise you by its equally unusual liveliness. I’m so eager to begin singing for you that, as you noticed, I’ve already written a prefatory poem in one of the varied kinds of triple rhythm units I’ll be illustrating (la LA la; weak STRONG weak; one TWO three; x/x). The strangest thing I’ll be doing in my collection is to bring about a resurrection of ancient stanza patterns embodying the musical structures I love. The uncustomary triple-rhythm stanza forms richly displayed will acquire a real if unlikely novelty by presenting tools so extremely old. About the author Martin Bidney, Professor Emeritus at Binghamton University (NY), writes poetry books that are dialogues. In “Shakespair” he converses in Shakespearean sonnets with the 154 that the bisexual Bard himself wrote in the 1590s about his boyfriend and girlfriend. In “A Unifying Light” Martin converses with Qur’anic passages on the topic of Jews and Christians in the Qur’an and the Islamic virtues they embody. “East-West Poetry” shows Martin replying, in poems, to passages from both the Qur’an and Rumi. “Poems of Wine and Tavern Romance” offers 103 dialogues between Martin and Hafiz, the 14th century Persian pub poet he translates, a Muslim Sufi who was bisexual, like Shakespeare, and whom Germany’s greatest poet, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, called his “twin” brother! (Martin translates Hafiz from the same version Goethe used.) In fact, Martin has also translated Goethe’s own “West-East Divan” (divan means “collection”) and wrote conversational reply poems to all of Goethe’s 240 lyrics. Martin’s dialogue book with the greatest Polish poet, Adam Mickiewicz, contains, on facing pages, the sonnets he wrote in response to the “Crimean Sonnets” he translated from Polish. In “Like a Fine Rug of Erivan” he translates 39 Pushkin poems from Russian and recites them on a CD. His wide-ranging fascination with revelatory writing stems from “Patterns of Epiphany,” where Martin pioneered a method of analysis he has since applied to over 20 authors.

Reid sits back down with the We Sound Crazy crew. Joining hosts Philionaire, Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony of Louis York, and Tamone Bacon, the music mogul takes listeners even deeper into the golden eras of his career. In this installment, the conversation turns toward the hitmaking powerhouse that was Island Def Jam, an era Reid highlights as one of his most memorable and competitive chapters. He breaks down the high-stakes environment of his A&R room, recalling how he built a "money team" of brilliant music executives and trusted his inner circle so completely that it birthed a historic string of global superstars, from Rihanna and Justin Bieber to Ne-Yo and a legendary comeback era for Mariah Carey. The episode pulls back the curtain on one of the most iconic executive hires in music history: Reid's decision to bring in Jay-Z as the president of Def Jam. In a fascinating behind-the-scenes revelation, Reid credits Mariah Carey for calling him directly with the genius suggestion to quiet the New York hip-hop community's undercurrent of skepticism. He shares his immense respect for Jay-Z, describing him as true royalty alongside figures like Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama for his ability to shift the energy of a room. The crew also reflects on how Reid orchestrated bringing Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony together in Atlanta via A&R Steve Ferrara, resulting in timeless hits like "Fragile" and "Blame It on Me" for Chrisette Michele's chart-topping number one album, Epiphany. Rounding out the legendary sit-down, the hosts honors Reid with the show's official Trailblazer Award to celebrate his monumental impact on the entertainment landscape. Transitioning from executive talk to personal passions, the conversation winds down with an exclusive peek into his high-end taste, as Reid details his love for custom craftsmanship, what his personal vinyl collection looks like, and the exact bottles of wine he'd bring to a Nashville gathering. Authentic, transparent, and loaded with music history, this concluding half with L.A. Reid serves as the ultimate blueprint for extracting greatness and fighting for the purity of the art form.

In 1978, Brian Smith quit his accounting job in Australia and headed to California with a surfboard, some savings, and ambition. He figured California was where he'd find an idea or a product to bring back home to Australia to build a business. A year in, he was still looking.But then he saw an advertisement in a surfing magazine for Australian sheepskin boots. Uggs were so widespread in Australia at the time, the name was a generic term - like flip flops - not a brand. Brian was immediately stoked: these boots were virtually unknown in America. If he could get ugg boots for sale in the U.S., they would be a huge success! Almost nobody else agreed.For years, Brian lived on the edge of collapse. He sold boots from the back of his van and worked construction and golf course maintenance jobs to survive. Retailers laughed him out of stores. He lost control of his company twice. At one point, he literally crawled across the floor from stress, ready to walk away forever.And yet…he kept going.What followed was one of the most unlikely brand-building stories in modern retail history — involving surf culture, trademark wars, miraculous timing, brutal financing mistakes, and a product the fashion world initially dismissed.Today, UGG generates more than $2.5 billion a year in sales.You'll hear how Brian:Turned rejection into problems to solveDiscovered marketing insights that changed UGG foreverSurvived years of cash-flow disastersLost control of the company and regained it a couple of times.Used surf culture to build an emotional connection with customersNearly quit… over and over again…And how he eventually sold UGG to footwear giant, DeckerTimestamps:09:51 Brian's eureka moment that led to the birth of UGG12:41 The first sales trip results in ZERO sales21:10 The mantra that kept Brian going while doing odd summer jobs to survive28:32 Brian gets a critical lesson in marketing…from some 12-year-old kids51:59 Brian's most effective strategy for retail: the “Six-Pair Stocking Plan”56:42 On track to regain his ownership - Brian hits a huge snag01:01:57 A midnight phone call from Australia saves the business01:11:28 Brian gets the last laugh in the trademark dispute - and acquires a boot factory01:14:54 Pamela Anderson wears UGGs on the set of Baywatch01:23:39 A chance meeting in the Atlanta airport leads to a deal to sell UGGThis episode was researched and produced by Casey Herman, with music by Ramtin Arablouei, and edited by Andrea Bruce.Follow How I Built This:Instagram → @howibuiltthisX → @HowIBuiltThisFacebook → How I Built ThisFollow Guy Raz:Instagram → @guy.razYoutube → guy_razX → @guyrazSubstack → guyraz.substack.comWebsite → guyraz.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, Sunday, May 31, we observe the solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, a dogma of faith which states that there is one God — eternal, incomprehensible — with three Divine Persons: Father, Son, the Holy Spirit.The Father is not more God than the Son, nor is the Son more God than the Holy Spirit.The Father is the first Divine Person; the Son is the second Divine Person, begotten from the nature of the Father from eternity; the Holy Spirit is the third Divine Person, proceeding from the Father and the Son.All three Persons contributed to and shared in the work of redemption. The Father sent His Son to earth, for "God so loved the world as to give His only-begotten Son." The Son became man and died for us. He redeemed us and made us children of God. After Christ's ascension, the Holy Spirit became our Guide and Consoler.In other words, the Father created and predestined us; on the first day of the week, He began the work of creation. The Son redeemed us; Sunday is the "Day of the Lord," the day of His resurrection. The Holy Spirit sanctified us, made us His temple; on Sunday, the Holy Spirit descended upon the infant Church. Sunday, therefore, is the day of the Most Holy Trinity.The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is a synthesis of Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, Ascension, and Pentecost.This feast of the triune God, which falls on the first Sunday after Pentecost, was introduced in the ninth century and was inserted into the General Roman Calendar of the Church only in the fourteenth century by Pope John XXII.Today's solemnity supersedes the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

What Can Lead a Weary Soul to the Divine in a Post-Christian World?   Malcolm Guite is back for part two of our chat with him, and this time we go from atheism to awe, from the Psalms to the Holy Grail, and from Keats to King Arthur. Malcolm tells the wild story of how poetry cracked open his imagination and shattered his unbelief, leading him into the living presence of God — then shows why Galahad and the Grail might be the ancient, weird, luminous story our burned-out, disenchanted world needs now.   Listen to Malcolm Guite pt. 1: Does Theology Need an Imaginative Spark to Grasp God's Mystery?   Sign up for The After Party Informational Webinars   Mentioned In This Episode: Malcolm Guite's Galahad in the Grail Malcolm Guite's Epiphany 1 The magi Malcolm Guite's Sounding the Seasons C.S.

Today is day 121 and we are studying The Sacraments. 121. What is a sacrament? A sacrament is an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace. God gives us the sign as a means by which we receive that grace and as a tangible assurance that we do in fact receive it. (Genesis 17:1–21; John 6:53–58; Romans 2:25–29; 1 Corinthians 10:16; 1662 Catechism) We will conclude today with The Collect for The Second Sunday of Epiphany found on page 602 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Today is day 113 and we are on the Third Article of the Apostles' Creed. Today we are on the sixteenth line: “The Forgiveness of Sins”. 113. Does God give grace only to Christians? No. God's common grace can be seen in his provision for all people. “He makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust” (Matthew 5:45). However, he shows his saving grace by granting salvation to those who place their faith in Christ. (Psalms 65:5–13; 145:8–9; Acts 14:15–17; Romans 5:1–11) We will conclude today with The Collect for The Second to Last Sunday of Epiphany found on page 604 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Read OnlineNow Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book. But these are written that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name. John 20:30–31Do you believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that through that belief you will inherit eternal life? Belief begins with an intellectual assent but must continuously deepen. The belief Saint John speaks of in today's Gospel is one that draws us deeper into the mystery of Christ's Paschal Mystery—His Life, Death, and Resurrection—so as to receive the gift of His abundant and transforming Mercy.Today is the eighth day of Easter. The Church, in Her wisdom, celebrates the most important days of the liturgical year for eight days. Historically, there were a number of feasts celebrated with octaves: Easter, Epiphany, Corpus Christi, Ascension, All Saints, and in some locales, the Sacred Heart and various Marian feasts. After Vatican II, the Church focused on two—Christmas and Easter—so as to give greater emphasis to the core of the Paschal Mystery.In the year 2000, the Octave of Easter took on a new focus when Saint Pope John Paul II instituted the Solemnity of Divine Mercy on the eighth day of Easter. This was done in response to Jesus' personal request, communicated to the Church through a humble cloistered Polish nun. Canonized in 2000, she is known as Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska.Between 1931 and 1938, Sister Faustina received numerous mystical visions that she recorded in six notebooks, now referred to collectively as Divine Mercy in My Soul: Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska. Almost two years before her death, Sister Faustina recorded the following entry in her diary:On one occasion, I heard these words: “My daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which grace flows are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity. Everything that exists has come forth from the very depths of My most tender mercy. Every soul in its relation to Me will contemplate My love and mercy throughout eternity. The Feast of Mercy emerged from My very depths of tenderness. It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy” (Diary #699).When we reflect on this beautiful private revelation in the light of today's Gospel, we are invited to consider that even though the Gospels present us with all we need to know in order to come to faith in Christ and share in the new life He bestows, the treasure of His Divine Mercy is inexhaustible. Just as “Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book,” so also the depths of His ongoing work, His Divine Mercy, will only be seen in Heaven.Divine Mercy Sunday is a day on which we are to profess our belief in this Mercy. To do so, we must ponder these inexhaustible treasures, probe their depths with the aid of Saint Faustina's private revelations, and then allow our Lord to reveal them to us within the depths of our souls. Reflect today on the infinite and inexhaustible treasures found in the Person of Christ and His Divine Mercy. His Mercy draws us into countless unrecorded and glorious graces that we are called to receive and rejoice in. Believe in His Mercy. Be open to it. Call upon it today, and receive it more abundantly. Most Merciful Jesus, Your mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity. On this Divine Mercy Sunday, I pray that You will pour out Your Mercy upon me and on the whole world. Fill us with the grace You won through Your Paschal Mystery so that all people will come to believe in You as their Lord and God. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Divine Mercy Jesus Christ Stained Glass Style Christian Vector Illustration with Red and White Rays by Eugeniusz Kazimirowski.Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life!

Together, with Fr. Mike, we examine the mysteries of Jesus' Baptism and temptation in the wilderness. Fr. Mike unpacks how Jesus' Baptism is yet another Epiphany or manifestation of Christ as Messiah. We also explore Christ's acceptance of his mission as God's suffering servant. Fr. Mike emphasizes that Jesus' temptations in the desert mirror the temptations of Adam in the garden, but, unlike Adam, Jesus does not succumb to these temptations. He remains faithful to the Father. Through this obedience to the Divine Will, he conquers the Devil, and in our own obedience, we are participating in this victory. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 535-540.

Fr. Mike explores the mystery of Jesus' infancy and hidden life. We first take a look at Jesus' Baptism, circumcision, and the Epiphany. Fr. Mike discusses that Jesus' circumcision shows us that salvation comes from the Jews. The Epiphany shows us that salvation does not stop there, it extends to all of us. Later, we examine Jesus' hidden life. Fr. Mike emphasizes the importance of Jesus' obedience to not just his Father in Heaven, but to his earthly father and mother as well, and how we can imitate that obedience.

Dave (still shaking off a cold, snowed in on Long Island) pays tribute to Larry (“Crosstalk Larry”) — a beloved meeting  guy who recently passed away. Larry was a kind, positive soul who yelled “keep coming!” at every meeting's end, welcomed newcomers, collected the basket for personal contact, showed up in hospitals and court, attended three DopeyCons and the Margaret Cho show, and lost his son to murder years ago. Dave reflects on missing Larry's kind heart and vows to try to be kinder. Lots of Spotify Bob talk! The main talk is a powerful, emotional return with Kevin Jack McEnroe (author, former nightlife figure, son of Tatum O'Neal). Kevin opens up about his family's addiction legacy: Tatum's lifelong struggles (childhood coke from Ryan O'Neill, celebrity enabling, stroke/coma in 2020), Ryan's estrangement, Kevin's own heroin/coke/vodka spiral, liver failure, treatment, Suboxone, and the infamous Christmas visit where Tatum smoked weed in the hotel room while Kevin was newly sober. He shares the deck-the-halls-with-mom's-Suboxone story, codependency/survivor guilt, boundary-setting (“I can't keep convincing you to live”), and how the stroke/facility humility saved her life. Kevin reflects on being a bad liar, ring secrecy with Fern, Sergio the blind heroin dealer, and how recovery brought peace, blended-family wedding moments, and hope.  All that and MORE! on a brand new Wednesday episode of that good old Dopey Snow - i mean show.
