For decades Frank X Walker has reclaimed essential American lives through his pathbreaking historical poetry. In this stirring new collection, he reimagines the experiences of Black Civil War soldiers—including his own ancestors—who enlisted in the Union army in exchange for emancipation.Moving chronologically from antebellum Kentucky through Reconstruction, Walker braids the voices of the United States Colored Troops with their family members, as well as slave owners and prominent historical figures from Abraham Lincoln to Frederick Douglas and Margaret Garner. Imbued with atmospheric imagery, these persona poems and more “[clarify] not only the inextricable value of Black life and labor to the building of America, but the terrible price they were forced to pay in producing that labor” (Khadijah Queen). “How do you un-orphan a people?” Walker asks. “How do you pick up / shattered black porcelain and make / a new set of dishes fit to eat off?”While carefully attuned to the heartbreak and horrors of war, Walker's poems pay equal care to the pride, perseverance, and triumphs of their speakers. Evoking the formerly enslaved General Charles Young, Walker hums: “I am America's promise, my mother's song, / and the reason my father had every right to dream.” Expansive and intimate, Load in Nine Times is a resounding ode to the powerful ties of individual and cultural ancestry by an indelible voice in American poetry. Winner of the 2025 PEN/Voelcker Award for Poetry. A native of Danville, Kentucky, Frank X Walker is the first African American writer to be named Kentucky Poet Laureate. Walker has published thirteen collections of poetry, including Turn Me Loose: The Unghosting of Medgar Evers, which was awarded the 2014 NAACP Image Award for Poetry and the Black Caucus American Library Association Honor Award for Poetry. Voted one of the most creative professors in the south, Walker coined the term “Affrilachia” and co-founded the Affrilachian Poets Collective, the oldest continuously running predominantly African American writing group in the country. He is a Professor of English, and Director of the MFA in Creative Writing program the University of Kentucky.

One who forsakes the peace of the Lord in exchange for straw, and forgets the Naam, suffers in pain. The ignorant self-willed manmukhs are blind. They are born, only to die again, and continue coming and going. Their affairs are not resolved, and in the end, they depart, regretting and repenting. One who is blessed with the Lord's Grace, meets the True Guru; he alone meditates on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. Imbued with the Naam, the humble servants of the Lord find a lasting peace; servant Nanak is a sacrifice to them.  || 1 ||   THIRD MEHL:  Hope and desire entice the world; they entice the whole universe. Everyone, and all that has been created, is under the domination of Death. By the Hukam of the Lord's Command, Death seizes the mortal; he alone is saved, whom the Creator Lord forgives. O Nanak, by Guru's Grace, this mortal swims across, if he abandons his ego. Conquer hope and desire, and remain unattached; contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad.  || 2 ||   PAUREE:  Wherever I go in this world, I see the Lord there. In the world hereafter as well, the Lord, the True Judge Himself, is pervading and permeating everywhere.

The text of Kuvempu's epic Kannada novel, Malegalalli Madumagalu (1967), and the recent translation, Bride in the Hills by Vanamala Viswanatha (Penguin Random House, 2024), will be discussed by an eminent panel of scholars, writers and the translator. Set in 1893 in the Malnad region of the Western Ghats with its majestic Sahyadri ranges, dense forests, and river Tunga, Kuvempu's Malegalalli Madumagalu (Bride in the Hills) describes the saga of not one young woman but many, of varied hues, who aspire for love and fulfilment in marriage, in a self-serving, male feudal order. An organic network of interrelated stories, the well-known Kannada writer Devanoora Mahadeva locates the novel in the epic tradition of the Mahabharata and Tolstoy's War and Peace. This woman-centric text weaves together the touching plight of young couples in love, such as Gutti and Timmi, from a Dalit community living on the ghats; Aita and Pinchalu, migrant labourers from below the ghats, and Mukundayya and Chinnamma from the land-owning Shudra caste. Fired from within by their love – the most powerful agent of change – these young people seek a life of freedom and dignity, leading to the transformation of the larger community. Their heartening stories are juxtaposed against the travails of hapless Nagakka and scheming Venkatanna, sickly Deyi and brute Chinkra, and gullible Kaveri and lecherous Devayya. All of them are, in different ways, up against the repressive regimes of the decadent landlords, who manipulate traditional feudal practices as well as the modern apparatus of a colonial state.  True to its claim as an epic novel, Kuvempu's text with its multiple narrative strands vividly enacts its mission statement in the epigraph: “Here, no one is important; no one is unimportant; nothing is insignificant!” Every sentient and insentient thing – the degenerate Chinkra, orphan Dharmu, Huliya the dog, Biri the cat, the evergreen forest, the Hulikal Peak – has a place and a purpose in this narrative. Imbued with an ecological consciousness, the novel offers a veritable biodiversity register of the Malnad region. Kuvempu presents a ‘view from below', a subaltern perspective which also takes in the world of the wealthy and powerful. Winner of the first Sahitya Akademi award in 1955 and the Jnanpith in 1967, Kuvempu (Kuppali Venkatappa Puttappa 1904-1994) inaugurated the non-brahmin era in modern Kannada writing. Kuvempu's versatile oeuvre includes a vast body of poetry, plays, novels, children's writing, essays and an autobiography. While his poetic epic ‘Shri Ramayana Darshanam' is a radical rewriting of the Valmiki epic drawing from the Jaina tradition, the two novels, The Kanur House (made into a film by Girish Karnad) and Bride in the Hills, are modern novels set in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Inspired by Tolstoy's expansive canvas and Tagore's unique Indian ethos, this first significant Shudra writer and an iconic figure in Kannada culture, has sculpted an entirely regional epic novel in Bride in the Hills.

Photo by Brad Trone Maja Ruznic (b. Bosnia and Herzegovina, 1983) fuses personal narrative, psychoanalysis, mythology, and esoteric thought into vivid paintings that hybridize figuration and abstraction. Painting variably with oils and gouache on immense and small scales alike, she extracts order from layers of diluted pigment. Ruznic's practice is informed by her studies, from Slavic shamanism and alchemy to Jungian psychoanalysis and sacred geometry. Imbued with a discordant beauty, her compositions emerge without a premeditated outcome. Ruznic's introspective, mystical approach places her into a lineage of visionary painters including Paul Klee and Hilma af Klint. Ruznic lives in Placitas, New Mexico. Recent solo exhibitions include those held at Karma (New York, 2024, Los Angeles, 2023); Tamarind Institute, Albuquerque (2022); Karma, New York (2022); and Harwood Museum of Art, Taos, New Mexico (2021). Ruznic's work is held in the collections of the Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento, California; Dallas Art Museum; EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art, Espoo, Finland; Harwood Museum of Art, Taos, New Mexico; Jiménez–Colón Collection, Puerto Rico; Portland Art Museum, Oregon; Rachofsky House, Dallas; and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Her work was recently on view in the Whitney Biennial 2024: Even Better Than the Real Thing at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.

And when I do, it's usually about one particular song, you know, the one. Do I even have to say the name of it?Today we're going to talk about opening the treasury of divine grace and what grace is and why we need it. Intro Hello everyone. My name is Charlie. I am a non-binary scifi fantasy writer, and I am joined today by my husband, Brian. Hello. Okay. I need to know which song. Amazing grace. Oh yeah. Okay. So all those guests amazing grease you win. Actually Stormzy's was the first thing that jumped in my head. Blinded by your grace, by your grace from Stormzy. great song, great side. No amazing grace was grandpa's [00:01:00] favorite. Song. I've never really been a fan of it. It's the first song I learned how to play on the organ, because my great-grandmother loved that song. When she found out that I was interested in learning how to play the organ, she opened up the sheet music. For it. And taught me to play it. It doesn't work anymore because it was an old. air powered. organ. That had a, electric compressor on it. And unfortunately the bag that held the air. To go through the pipes is given it needs maintenance, but I still actually have that organ in the house right now, it's in the office. It is not playable. Unfortunately. Grace is. An extremely misunderstood and misappropriated term. In most discussions, especially. Christian discussions. And I'm starting to feel like people are. Maybe wondering where we're going to get more into the paganism. Oh, trust me, starting next month, we're going to have a banger cause I really want to have a discussion of, should [00:02:00] we be saying paganism or paganery? I just had a lot to say this month because of the holidays and the things associated with it. But grace is important. On either side of things. Grace is very misappropriated because of Augustine. And oh, we're going to be talking about that a little bit later this month. Augustine and in what I consider the great error of original sin. Grace, according to this way of thinking. Is your ability to go, Hey, you're the most horrible thing ever. But I'm willing to look past that. And ewe. I don't know how else to describe it. No, I would think that would actually fall under the definition of tolerance. Be bad and use a definition and a word tolerance is tolerating a thing. Ooh, bad definitions. It's not even really tolerance because it has to start with this. You are the worst thing ever, and I hate you for that. Yeah, but I'm not going to destroy [00:03:00] you, even though you deserve it. Original sin. Is a worldview that my brain really cannot get behind. In any way that is meaningful, powerful, or helpful in any way, shape or form? Yes. Very judgmental. Very wrathful. So if we're. Not talking about. Grace from the perspective of original sin, where we're all horrible, horrible, bad people who need to just have God pretend that that's not the case for a minute so that we're not immediately smitten by a lightening. what Charlie- New: is grace ? Where do you find it? Grace to me is the answer to why is the universe not fair? . The first instance of grace that I ever remember having explained to me was again from my great grandmother. I used to go over to her house a lot. We lived in a trailer behind her house. For a portion of my childhood and I would go up and she'd pull out the Bible and. I would play amazing grace on the [00:04:00] organ because she insisted that I play amazing grace on the organ. Cause she taught me how to play it. And it was her favorite song. And then she would pick up the Bible and we would read something and then talk about it. And that was a lot of my. Childhood for a period there. One day. As you do as a child. I said something about man, that's just not fair. Granny was very. Granny about it and was like, Be very, very happy that the world isn't fair. You don't want what you deserve. No one wants what they deserve. And when I heard that as a kid, My initial thought. Was. Oh, yeah, I, I don't want, cause I'm a bad person, blah, blah, blah, blah. But she went on to explain if the universe was fair. The moment you did a bad thing, something terrible would happen to you. Whether you knew it was a bad thing or not. There's no learning. In that work. There's no [00:05:00] justice in that world. Just immediate retribution. There is no salvation in that world. You need grace, grace. Is. That easement. And that allowance that lets you have that space to grow, to develop and to change. That was interesting coming from her because she was very set in her way. She was in her nineties. It was hard for me to understand coming from her. Cause then, you know, you look how she treated other people and it didn't make sense to me. It did later. But I don't think that that's all the grace is. See we often because of this framework of original sin. View grace in terms of punishment. And that's not what grace is. When you go out and you look at. waterfall. You experienced divine grace. You've experienced natural grace. You experienced the grace of this gift? This unmerited gift. That is just presented to you. You look [00:06:00] outside and you see a rainbow. And you receive this grace. See to me. Grace and graciousness. Are tied together, not just linguistically. Because, yeah, I can make a very pedantic argument of, you know, these words. Uh, but that's not. Helpful in this case. Because while yes, the words may be related. The ideas often are not. But they should be. Grace. Is simply as I learned as a child. un- merited. Favor. I love that phrase. On merited favor. I didn't have to wake up to beautiful weather. I didn't have to go to sleep last night in that beautiful, cool air. That was coming in from the freshly cleansed. Air from the rain that had happened earlier in the day. I didn't deserve. Any of that. I don't even know what I could do. To deserve. Any of that, where you would have [00:07:00] to get out there and move the little. You know, molecules around to create the ideal atmospheric conditions. That would be the effort that would be required. And that example, and it's why it's a gift because I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I didn't get up. I didn't start earlier in the day yesterday to push the wind and move the molecules. Brian - New: So that last night would be nice and cool. And not to have the thunderstorms. That. Is to me the, the blessing of grace. We find grace in a lot of places that we don't. Often look for it. We're not open to it. We don't see it. Again, this is partially from those blinders, that original sin put on a lot of people that grew up in a Western. Country. And unfortunately in countries that have been infected by that. Mind virus. But grace is something that flows. Throughout nature. Throughout our lives. As a storyteller. When that. [00:08:00] Inspiration hits for a new character, a new story. I knew something. That's grace. I didn't. Earn that idea. Yeah, I may have put the work into this, learn my craft to do whatever research I needed to do on the project. But. Trust me, I've been a writer for long enough when the words just flow. I didn't earn that. That's a grace that just happens and it's wonderful and it's beautiful. And I love it. Grace to me. Is something that we draw from Awen. From the, that divine inspiration. That great breadth of creation that flows through everything. It's. Like taking a bucket. Out of that great current evolvement. And. Just to use the traditional druidic words. There's a difference between Awen and Nwyfre. Nwyfre is the energy of life. It's life force. I often [00:09:00] tell people when introducing them to the idea, if you've watched star wars, you understand the basic concept of Nwyfre. Nwyfre is the force. It surrounds us at penetrates. It's it binds the universe together. Nwyfre. Awen. Is a little bit more. Detached from that it's a little bit. Broader than that. Awen. Is that creativity that is flowing through everything. That inspiration. That divine breath. The word literally means heaven or sky. It's everywhere at all times, but every now and then the Awen hits you. And you Awenydd you act in Awen as all went through Awen with Awen. You become a Awenydd. You are. Imbued with it, filled with it. To the point where you and it are indistinguishable from one another. And that's, that is a special kind of grace. When that hits you when that comes in. And I think the [00:10:00] one thing that we need to learn more than anything else is how to open that treasury. how do we get access? To that grace. Not just to the Awen, but to that Nwyfre. How do we get access to that energy that grace in our lives? One, as we've said on previous episodes, I think prayer and devotion is a place where we can open those gates. It goes all the way back to do on to others that you would have them do unto you. It starts with that practice of gratitude. So that you can gain an appreciation of grace. A lot of it is giving grace where and when you can. Just in that act, you get to experience the one side of it. And participated in the joy that that can bring. But it also sets up that, stirs the flow. Three. Bri physics in a way you've got a bunch of potential energy. You need to turn into kinetic energy. A force needs to act upon it. So you [00:11:00] can control your actions. You can be that forced to start that flow. And the easiest way to start that flow is, to participate in grace. And give unmerited gifts where, and when you can. This goes back to our episode on the law of the returning tide. If you were giving grace out into the world, Then there is. A higher potential that grace will come back. In the returning tide. But if you're sending it out, there is a greater chance that it will come back to you. Biggest thing here is practice mindfulness. Yes. A moment of mindfulness meditation is. So helpful and longer mindfulness meditations. If you have time for it. But punctuating your day. Because I think we are surrounded. By so much, grace. And we don't see it. We ignore it. And so the, we feel that we're living without it. That wonderful, refreshing. Water. That wonderful warming hug that you got from your coffee this morning, or at least I got from my coffee this morning. Right. That's [00:12:00] grace. That is a form of grace. Starting there learning to see it there. Helps you to see it. And find ways to attract and tap into it in other places, but you always have to start in the little things. Yeah. That's why I mentioned the practice of gratitude. It's that mindfulness, Being thankful and remembering to say, thank you. And every time. , even the smallest bit of grace. As Charlie pointed out when you have your coffee in the morning, and it gives you that little energetic boost that you needed to get your day going. Just being thankful for that little caffeinated jolt. It got you moving. And just recognizing the little things when somebody holds the door for your, or. Let you go first, saying thankful, thank you to them. It's always nice, but also recognizing that was an unmerited gift. It was grace that they. Gave to you. You didn't do anything to deserve to be in front of them. Cause it's not actually how things [00:13:00] work. I think one of the places that we encounter this word is in the Thanksgiving, we say before meals, right? You get to say grace. And I don't think many of us do say grace. I'm not saying that as a, you should give safe for a prayer every time you eat or before you eat or after you eat, depending on the tradition that you're coming from or whatever. But I don't think we actually say grace. I know in my family, I was taught. To not just be thankful to God for the food that was on the plate, but to be thankful for the farmer. The grew the food for the people who. Carried the food. Around to get it to the store where I we were able to get it, the person who prepared and cooked the food, if we are eating. Plants to be thankful for the plant that provided the food. If we're eating an animal to be thankful to the animal whose life. I was given up for this food. To say grace to have that attitude of just thank you. Because. It really feels weird to try to explain this. If [00:14:00] you've not experienced it yourself. Grace is. Unfortunately one of those things that, you know, it, when you see it. But it's really hard to put into words. Grace is everything from finding that extra dollar in your pocket, when you didn't know that you had it there and you needed it at the moment or finding that. Dollar on the street or whatever. Right. That is a little bit of grace. But also just. A friend comes over. And just brings cookies. . She knows what kind of cookies you like and just. Knows that you like them and had some time and was thinking about you. And so she made them. And brought them out for that. That is grace. But also. Having somebody to take care of you when you're sick. And be mindful of the pain that you're experiencing. That's a form of grace. That's a grace. We can extend to others. And it's a grace. We often get from others, but it's really hard to see in the midst of suffering. Suffering really does [00:15:00] blind us to grace. All those acts of separation. Blinds the individual from grace, thinking back to my own youth. We said grace, at every meal, it was required. But it was just required. There was a detachment from the meaning behind it, from the significance of what the actual act was. So it just became this thing we did. Later on when I was on my own. It was my choice, whether I did a thing or not, I dropped it because it was just this festival thing. I didn't. See the significance because I was separated from that. And later on when realizing what it actually is . Being thankful for the gift. That was the unmerited Brian - New: gift that Cow. Gave its life and. I didn't earn it. Wasn't my life that I could claim. But I still enjoyed the burger or still enjoyed the steak, having that connection. Really helps. I'm a really big fan of visualizations. I think our imagination. Is such an important tool in spirituality [00:16:00] to be able to help us to understand things. So if you're capable of visualizations, because some people, you know, it's a real struggle. And so we'll talk about that more in a second. But if you are capable of visualization and you're having a hard time connecting to this idea of grace, find something you really, really love. I kind of fruit. A candy bar. beverage. Preferably, not an alcoholic one, just because we don't want a dollar census. We're actually trying to heighten our senses here. Though. I won't tell if you don't. As you're sitting there with it. Start. Peeling apart, the layers of. What grace are you receiving from us? Because let's take an orange. Orange is a very good. And often used example of this for both mindfulness and for grace. The moment you get in proximity to a good orange. You smell it. You see it? It's beautiful. It's like a little sun. Sitting right in front of you or held in your hand. [00:17:00] It's beautiful to look at. Is this Juul? But you smell it. You instantly have that aroma. That luscious citrus smell. It just greets you. That's grace. And so imagine. Like you wouldn't occur to. See that aroma. Just imagine it wafting around like luminous smoke in the air. And going into your nostrils and into your soul. Just that wonderful grace, just wafting. And we haven't done anything to the orange yet. This is just from the orange existing. Maybe it's your favorite beverage and the smell coming off of it. Cause I can't think of a food that I liked that doesn't start with greeting me with a wonderful scent. And, Very enticing site. And then you open it. And that smell probably got stronger. Now you can see the component parts. That thing that you're really there for. It becomes more inviting, more open to you. As you put it in your mouth, Just let it rest there for a minute. [00:18:00] And imagine if it's something like a chocolate that's melting in your mouth. I imagine like this luminous grace. Melting off of it as it's coming into your mouth. If it's something juicy, like an orange. Imagine. That juiciness. Is this kind of luminous. Liquid just flowing into you. This grace just flowing into you. And just sit with these images as you're taking it in, watching it become part of you watching it. Give of itself. And you'll start understanding. And connecting. To that grace. Once you start understanding that in your food and in your beverages, . Always a great place to start with a lot of spiritual practices. Because. It is so intimate that food and beverage is becoming a part of you. And in most of our spiritual work, that is the end result we are striving for. How is it? How does it feel? You're either drinking something hot or something cold. Or you're eating something hot or something cold. How does it [00:19:00] feel? Is it. I go in as they're swallowing it. Do you feel it moving in? There's nothing better than on a hot day, having an ice cold lemonade. Feeling that coolness. Just go down inside and fill you up. It's such a wonderful experience. And it is an experience of simple natural grace. And once you've learned how to see it in those. Let's start looking at for it elsewhere. When a loved one touches your hand. Or it gives you a hug. Can you not feel the grace. Emanating from them. In that moment. When you go outside in the sun. Caresses your face on a cold day. Or a gentle breeze blows the heat away on a hot day. Or a gentle Mr. Rain cools you off on a hot day, do you not feel the grace in that moment? Do you not recognize the grace in that moment? You get to the place and you park your car. And [00:20:00] you look in somebody's left time on the meter. Little bit of grace. In your day. Once you start looking for it. You'll start seeing it all over the place. I think this is why. Brian was talking about gratitude. Grace. Is often what we're thankful for. We just don't recognize it as what it is. And we feel like we're living in this cold, hard world. That's so vicious and mean and cruel. It's tiny, but somebody gives you a like on social media. That's a. That's a little bit of grace. Somebody shares a smile, some insurance, a smile. Your favorite song comes on. That is. An intimate sharing of grace. The grace that that song was created. And shared with the world, looking at a painting. That grace comes in. You see harvesting grace. Opening the treasury of divine grace. Is less about it being walled off from us. And more about us. [00:21:00] Neglecting to see it. And know before you get confused. I'm not saying everything is always wonderful. Or everything is always good. I'm not one of those people. , if you don't see that everything is great, you're cursing yourself. There's lots of suffering out there. Yes. A lot of pain. There's not assuming. But. In a way that pain and suffering. Is when you get into the deeper meditations of. It is in a way at grace. Because when that pain isn't there. You're able to appreciate it. I had injured. My thighs really badly about six months ago, still struggling with healing from that. But in yes, it's pain and suffering. It's bad. But the grace was recognizing and seeing. All those wonderful opportunities when. The thigh muscles work correctly when I don't hurt when they don't, aren't trying to tear. and. Bring suffering, that's a grace. It's just we don't often notice. Many many years ago. I took up a [00:22:00] brachot practice. I tried to say a hundred blessings a day. The number 100 is figurative. Unless it really matters to you. Don't count. Like you don't have to count. The point is to constantly be saying blessings. Always find the blessing, find the grace. A lot of my friends mock me for this. ' cause when my legs are really hurting. I will. Often say a very simple blessing. Blessed are you Lord our God. For giving me the grace to remember that I am alive. Or sometimes I will just think the pain. For reminding me that I am still alive. Even just being thankful that other parts are working wonderfully. I tried to look into the darkness and find the light. That's the. Like to me. As somebody with chronic pain, This is one of the ways that I tend to cope with chronic pain. I agree with Kierkegaard and several others who said that, depression is the proof of the immortal soul because it can devour and devour and devour it. There's always more there to be [00:23:00] devoured. Yeah. Back to the leg injury. I was ungrateful. At first, because it's easy to give into the pain and the suffering being upset and stressed. My shoulder. And back started failing. I quickly became grateful for working hands for working feet for working brain. I suddenly realized, wait, I better start appreciating everything cause I'll still start to fall apart. I feel like I have to say this isn't that whole Just to be happy with what you got. I know. Boomer. Thought process. It's not what I'm talking about at all. I am. I'm more grateful for the parts of me that are working. It's. Recognizing those unmerited gifts. Also just re contesting our lives, grace, in so many ways. Is finding that light, even in the darkest places. And if you can find that light. When I learned my brachot practice. The example that was given is if somebody comes to you and tells you. [00:24:00] Your best friend has died. Then say to them, blessed are you Lord our God who. Granted me the gift of hearing. That's hard. It is that's hard. It's that reminder that we need some times that not everything is awful. No, everything's not awesome. 100% of the time, all the time. But neither is everything. 100% awful. There's usually at least something, some bright point, some good thing. Either in your life or in someone else's life, because I think we get. Often, very solipsisticly obsessed with our own experiences or very hyper-focused Liam. Trapped in the experiences of others. Yes. I look at the world and I see this great suffering that's happening around the world. And I feel selfish. Thinking or doing anything? But trying to help. Alleviate that pain and suffering. But I am a human being that [00:25:00] lives in central United States. And it's all the way over there. And I am not in a position of power. In my culture or my government. So it really is like a little bit I can do. I can state my opinions. I can write letters like, and reach out to. My Congressman who doesn't care, my senators who don't care. Oh, In fact are very pro suffering in the world. I can at least take what little action I can. But I can't spend all day, every day. Blinded. By that pain and suffering. 'cause that. wears us down. You see the point and purpose of learning to see grace? His grace is what fills up that tank. This is what the modern gratitude movement gets wrong. Gratitude does not fill up the tank. Gratitude helps point you towards grace and grace is what point fills up that tank. If you do not have, or you are not seeing those parts of your life that are giving [00:26:00] you grace. You are going to burn out. And have a really hard time building yourself back up. And that's why we need. To open. Our eyes. Which is how we open the treasury of divine grace. This is also why we're remembering it. You know, being mindful of it now during this festival, Vanessa. Yeah. And this time of harvesting. As it is. It's a, it's another thing that is harvested. Uh, Yeah, it's a gleaning. It's something that's just everywhere. We just need to go and pick it up. Yup. And fill our buckets and. Be recharged and rejuvenated. I hope. This meant something to you.

New Combinations host and Associate Artistic Director Wendy Whelan is joined by Principal Dancers Tiler Peck and Roman Mejia, the performers of the latest world premiere work created on the Company: Resident Choreographer Justin Peck's Dig the Say. Roman shares the way in which the ballet was tailor made for the two dancers, in the mode of a "modern day Tarantella," in Tiler's words, that capitalizes on their history of partnering in some of the most challenging works in the repertory. Imbued with a sense of competition yet always playful and fun, they both relish Peck's invitation to contribute to the ballet's shape, invigorated by the live jazz score.

In this inspiring sermon, explore the challenges and beauty of building a relationship with God, with a focus on learning how to hear His divine voice. Through real-life examples and Biblical references, particularly the riveting story of Gideon, the sermon provides valuable insights into discerning God's voice during moments of despair and adversity. It urges believers not to attempt to control how God communicates with them, but instead, to immerse in a meaningful camaraderie with Him. The sermon also emphasizes the importance of treating others righteously in the church and beyond, reminding that true faith isn't just about spiritual growth but about creating space for miracles in life. It concludes powerfully, declaring that God is calling our generation to hear His voice and form relationships with Him that are beyond worldly limits. Through various narratives, this sermon inspires believers to seek divine guidance during difficulties and assures them that the Lord is always ready to provide words of strength. Featuring the poignant Biblical tale of Gideon from Judges chapters 6 and 7, it draws parallels with the contemporary situation in churches where avoidance of conflict and controversy is common. In such times, believers are encouraged to be fearless in proclaiming the name of Jesus and to express love without hesitation. Laced with words of comfort, the sermon reaffirms God's unconditional love, reminding everyone of their sacred status as mighty warriors of God. It nudges believers to conquer their fears, step out of isolation, and respond to the divine call. The sermon greatly stresses the need for authentic faith, obedience to God's will, and the pivotal role of prayer in our lives. This heartfelt sermon culminates by calling believers to act upon God's word, embrace faith in the face of fear, and continually spread Jesus' name despite any adversity they may face. Imbued with the energy and conviction, it ignites the passion of listeners, reigniting their faith and motivating them to rise and make God's word a living reality.

"My practice delves into the complexities of human intimacy, both romantic and familial. After the death of my younger brother and many of my friends to the ongoing opioid epidemic of my Appalachian hometown and the country at large, my own mortality became embedded within my active mark-making. Driven by a need to understand the world around me, my work serves as a visual exploration of the emotional and psychological intricacies of relationships, personal loss, and our place in the natural world. Imbued with a deep sense of nostalgia, the work harkens back to the excitement and vulnerability of new human connections and experiencing nature in a new light. For me, painting is as necessary as digging in the dirt - dragging your hand through a body of water - across a freshly buzzed head."   LINKS:  www.johnpaulkesling.com   www.instagram.com/johnpaulkesling         Artist Shout Out:    Brett Douglas Hunter @brettdouglashunter Marlos E'van @marlosevan Lindsy Davis @lindsydavis_     I Like Your Work Links: Check out our sponsor for this episode: The Sunlight Podcast: Hannah Cole, the artist/tax pro who sponsors I Like Your Work, has launched Business Deduction Deep Dive:  For artists and self-employed creatives. and is everything you need to know about self-employed tax deductions.

Aquarium Drunkard - SIDECAR (TRANSMISSIONS) - Podcast

Incoming transmission from Roger Eno. This week on the show, he joins us for a freewheeling, friendly chat about art, place, and Dune (1984). Eno began his recording life in 1983, when he joined his brother Brian and Daniel Lanois at the latter's studio in Hamilton, Ontario, to cut one of our favorite albums of all-time, Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks. Imbued with country and western ambiance, it suggests the vastness of space and man's ventures into it. Not only that, but it serves as one of the foundational documents of the "ambient country" subgenre that practically forms its own corner of the Aquarium Drunkard sonic universe.  Eno got started on solo work after that, with Voices, and he's continued to record ever since, both in collaboration with his brother Brian, like on 2020's Mixing Colours, on his own, and with a diverse cast of artists including David Gilmore, The Orb, Jah Wobble, Youth, and Channel Light Vessel, his group with Bill Nelson, Kate St. John, and previous Transmissions guest Laraaji. His latest and second album for Deutsche Grammophon is The Skies, They Shift Like Chords. Eno joined host Jason P. Woodbury early this year to discuss that record, and a lot more: psycho-geography, space travel, and what he can recall about his work on the soundtrack with Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois on the soundtrack for David Lynch's 1984 adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune. The sleeper has awakened. Transmissions is a part of the Talkhouse Podcast Network. Visit the Talkhouse for more interviews, fascinating reads, and podcasts. Next week on Transmissions? An interview with Aquarium Drunkard founder Justin Gage.

I'm Josh Cooperman and this is Convo By Design. When I first started the podcast, a long time ago… It all started as an experience. I love design and architecture, I always have. I recently realized that if I had taken the time spent doing the show and went back to school, I could have become an architect. I say that tongue firmly planted in cheek. Not because I wouldn't LOVE to be an architect, designer or set decorator. But, because had I done that, I wouldn't be able to do this. This is what I love to do. I find extraordinary joy in speaking with the creatives whom I admire, exploring their journeys, telling their stories and engaging with you.  Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home.

Welcome to a powerful episode of The Daily Reprieve Podcast that takes you through a gripping narrative of personal struggle, the pursuit of sobriety over a period of 15 years, and the triumph in finding strength within powerlessness. The episode proffers a raw, unfiltered exploration into the life of Brendan, an individual grappling with the chains of sex addiction. It reflects upon the profound loneliness and fear of losing oneself to fantasy, as well as the powerlessness experienced in trying to change the status quo. The story illustrates how the protagonist's addiction created a mental blockade, negatively impacting his ability to form genuine connections and leading to a perpetual emptiness. A deeper dive into his life reveals years of chaos, coupled with problems and mini-catastrophes exacerbated by the strenuous hold of addiction. Yet, Brendan's story is far from demoralizing. He returns to university in his 50s, battling self-doubt and perfectionism. The subsequent part of the narrative illuminates the essence of surrender, of accepting oneself and letting kindness, compassion, and honesty guide the journey toward recovery. Brendan recognizes his lifelong inability to 'control' his own life but embraces the duty of maintaining sobriety, having faith, and performing the tasks that a higher power seems to have assigned to him. It isn't about flashy triumphs, but about self-acceptance, grappling with personal problems, and trying to get through each day. This episode is a testament to personal growth, the power of perseverance, and the importance of self-compassion during one's struggle with sobriety. Imbued with raw experiences and emotions of journeying through addiction, the narrative sends a resonating message of hopefulness and resilience to those who may be undergoing similar trials.

Liam's upbringing was steeped in hard work and perseverance. His father's occupation as a black cab driver and his mother's role as a personal assistant instilled in him the values of diligence and resourcefulness. Starting as an apprentice for an electrician, Liam swiftly realised the absence of comfortable workwear in his field. This realisation became the catalyst for his entrepreneurial journey. Recognising the need for better attire that could withstand the demands of labor while prioritising comfort, he took the leap to create Comodo Workwear. Drawing from his experiences and fuelled by his determination, Liam ventured into the world of apparel, carving a niche by catering to the practical needs of workers like himself who craved functionality without sacrificing comfort. His dedication to providing quality workwear stemmed from a genuine understanding of the challenges faced by labourers, and it transformed him into an innovator in the industry, reshaping the way people approached their work attire. Georgina's journey unfolded against the backdrop of a family deeply rooted in a legacy of hard work. Excelling in academics, she pursued a drama degree after her schooling, drawn to the art of storytelling and teaching. However, her family's association with Rolls Royce opened unexpected doors. Joining the events management department, she discovered a different avenue—a world where precision and grandeur intersected. Transitioning to JCB introduced her to the dynamic realm of construction. Imbued with curiosity, Georgina delved into understanding the machinery, particularly diggers. Her passion led her to operate these machines herself, mastering their intricacies and functionalities. This unexpected turn in her career path transformed her into a beacon of knowledge, not as a traditional teacher but as an instructor in an unconventional classroom—a construction site. Georgina found fulfilment in sharing her expertise, educating others about the machines she had come to admire, and bridging the gap between theory and practical knowledge in an industry she hadn't initially envisioned herself being a part of.
