I'm still writing books but haven't been reviewed by anybody in ages, maybe because I'm an Old White Male and our time is up, or maybe I've written too many books, and I'm okay with unreviewing — going way back to Veronica Geng's caramel custard review of Lake Wobegon Days in the New York Times in 1985, the reviews have been warm and sweet, which is nice for the publisher but for me, the hardworking writer, are unremarkable, like a friend's cat climbing into my lap: not the equivalent of good conversation. But O'Gieblyn's essay is a brilliant and engaging piece of work and I feel honored that she went to so much trouble. It pleases me that she quotes funny lines from the book and not pretentious ones: she could easily have used my own words to make me look like a hack and a bore. She does use the word “schtick” in connection with my radio monologue, but I don't mind: in stand-up, schtick is simply useful, like the handheld microphone. She says that my willful optimism seems somewhat strained at times, and she writes, “There is, alas, no shortage of holes in the book's logic that could be exploited by an attentive critic”and she goes ahead and sticks her finger in some of them, but she also says, “It's hard not to conclude that Keillor has reached the sunny equanimity of enlightenment.” (I've made it as hard as I could, Meghan.) And then she says, “The prose throughout the book is both sharp and buoyant, and often arrives, somewhat unexpectedly, at profundity.” I was aiming for buoyancy. Profundity is well above my pay grade; it's Ms. Gieblyn's territory, not mine. To me, this sentence from a writer so sharp as she is worth more than any prize given by a committee. “Sharp and buoyant” is a nice phrase for promotion, but what makes it meaningful to me is the brilliance of Meghan O'Gieblyn.

Blessings to the love doves! This Energy Audio Tidbit asks a most foundational and significant question: when is enough, enough?"Happiness" is perhaps distinct from "contentment." What does it mean to be content? How does one discover contentment? When is enough, enough? How much do we really, truly, deeply, need? Sometimes, we share more when we have less.This is NOT propaganda for the own nothing be happy ghouls. Abundance is desirable and fantastic. We all deserve abundance. But what about the notion of abundance mentality? Living in abundance, believing in abundance, and being in abundance.In my travels around this magnificent living cerulean orb, I've seen again and again that people oftentimes discover contentment and abundance without hoarding, pillaging, robbing or bombing for more and more and more. The blind insatiable quest for more more more is downright reckless and dangerous. Every body deserves enough. Remember the loaves 'n fishes. Sometimes, all it takes is a belief, or rather an understanding, a deep inner knowing, that yes, we do in fact have... enough. Contentment and its attendant constellation of experience is deep AF. Discovering "enoughness" is powerful.  When is enough, enough? Do you already have... enough? Should we renegotiate our relationship with abundance? These are all some juicy questions this wee hour EAT hopes to invoke. Love you all!! little raven kerkawww3 6 9TRACKLISTRitmos del Sur : Sebananda ● Folktronicast 3️ Mose ● Santi & Tuğçe ● Janax Pacha ● Jakare ● Yemanjo ● Cyma ● Namirí (Mix)Nina Simone - An Artist's DutyCover ArtAnxious Contentment by Jay AldersSupport the showSupport My Sponsor:Magic Mind Adaptogenic & Nootropic Elixir 20% off at Checkout!https://magicmind.com/barbarianpod | Use Code: BARBARIANPOD20 | JAN.

The Depths of God : 1 Corinthians 2:10 “these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the DEEP THINGS of God.” The word deep is translated from the Greek which means depth, height: as measured up or down. The deep sea, the deep things of God- thing hidden and above mans scrutiny. Profundity; ie. Extent; mysteryGod desires to me known, just as we do. It is painful to misunderstood or judged incorrectly and He invites us to follow the Spirit of God unto the depths of God He reveals.2. The Deep in us; our deep soul and spirit : Psalm 42 Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls, your waves and your breakers crash over me. This deep is translated from the Hebrew: deep, depths, deep places, abyss, the deep, deep (of subterranean waters). Subterranean means under the earth, under the layers of the surface. This is our deep under the surface places calling out to His.3. The Deep of Spirit realm; spiritual discernment, spiritual beings, spiritual laws and mysticismThis Series will explore these topics and use dreams to illustrate the way these things are revealed to us and what to do with that. Whether though soul dreams which reveal to us our own soul, or though discernment dreams or nightmares.

Saeed Jones on the Profundity to Be Found in the Grieving Process

If there were a bard for our bewildering times, Saeed Jones would be a fitting choice. In his newly released collection of poems, Alive at the End of the World, Jones dances through grief, rage, and trauma—collective and personal—with acerbic clarity and sharp-edged wit. It is a book that gets to the heart of this confounding, erratic era, by turns reflecting on the tremendous amount of loss that has come with Covid-19; more broadly, the staggering, startling nature of living through a pandemic; the unignorable realities of climate disaster; the ongoing dangers of being Black and queer in the face of systemic racism, homophobia, and white supremacy; and, individually, the 2011 death of his mother and the past decade he has spent wallowing, mourning, mending, processing, and growing in the aftermath. Following his two previous books—the 2019 coming-of-age memoir How We Fight for Our Lives and the 2014 poetry collection Prelude to Bruise—Alive at the End of the World is only sort of a hyperbolic, if coy, title. “This human era we're in is wild,” Jones says on this episode of Time Sensitive. “I am not here to tell people, ‘Oh, it has always been this calamitous.' No! We are in an era of instability, destability. It's bad, and I think we need to be real about that.” There's a blunt, let's-not-beat-around-the-bush quality to Jones's work—he intentionally and directly addresses harsh, gut-punching realities that many of us would rather ignore. But he does so in ways that are alluring, and that draw readers in. Wading through the tough stuff, slowly, thoughtfully, and with good humor, Jones gets to higher truths and finds meaningful connection points. Also on this episode, Jones talks with Spencer about growing up Black and queer in the suburban city of Lewisville, Texas; how the murders of James Byrd, Jr., and Matthew Shepard haunted him throughout his teenage years and still do; and why, “in our culture right now, everything's a proxy war, everything's one-upmanship.”Special thanks to our Season 6 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Saeed Jones[03:39] Alive at the End of the World[05:44] “Deleted Voice Message: Hey, Robyn—It's Me, Whitney”[05:44] “A Spell to Banish Grief”[07:06] “Saeed, How Dare You Make Your Mother Into a Prelude”[14:21] “Okay, One More Story”[16:34] “The Dead Dozens”[25:08] “Diahann Carroll Takes a Bath at the Beverly Hills Hotel”[48:10] How We Fight for Our Lives: A Memoir[52:12] Prelude to Bruise[52:12] “Jasper, 1998”[01:13:58] “Self-Portrait of the Artist as Ungrateful Black Writer”

What I learned from rereading Land's Polaroid: A Company and the Man Who Invented It by Peter C. Wensberg.[0:01] Why is Polaroid a nutty place? To start with, it's run by a man who has more brains than anyone has a right to. He doesn't believe anything until he's discovered it and proved it for himself. Because of that, he never looks at things the way you and I do. He has no small talk. He has no preconceived notions. He starts from the beginning with everything. That's why we have a camera that takes pictures and develops them right away.[1:33] More books on Edwin Land: Insisting on The Impossible: The Life of Edwin Land by Victor McElheny The Instant Image: Edwin Land and the Polaroid Experienceby Mark Olshaker A Triumph of Genius: Edwin Land, Polaroid, and the Kodak Patent War by Ronald Fierstein Instant: The Story of Polaroid by Chris Bonanos [2:18] “Then I read something that one of my heroes, Edwin Land of Polaroid, said about the importance of people who could stand at the intersection of humanities and sciences, and I decided that's what I wanted to do.” —  Steve Jobs: The Exclusive Biography by Walter Isaacson (Founders #214)[5:17] This guy started one of the great technology monopolies and ran it for 50 years.[7:35] He lived his life more intensely than the rest of us.[8:53] His interest in our reactions was minimal — polite, sometimes kind, but limited by the great drain of energy necessary to sustain his own part.[9:30] He never argued his ideas. If people didn't believe in them, he ignored those people. —A Mind at Play: How Claude Shannon Invented the Information Age by Jimmy Soni and Rob Goodman  (Founders #95) Loomis was not someone you could argue with. He would listen patiently to an opposing opinion. But his consideration was nothing more than that-an act of politeness on his part.” — Tuxedo Park: A Wall Street Tycoon and The Secret Palace of Science That Changed The Course of World War II by Jennet Conant (Founders #143)[11:40] Right before he introduces the most important product he ever makes — he is in a fight for his life. There's a good chance that Polaroid is going to be bankrupt.[14:29] The parallel to Steve Jobs is striking. Edwin Land —like jobs — had to turn around the company he founded before they ran out of money![15:02] At 37 he had achieved everything to which he aspired except success.[15:32] Against The Odds: An Autobiography by James Dyson (Founders #200)[22:48] The heroes of your heroes become your heroes.[23:39] Bill Gates would later tell a friend he went to Harvard to learn from people smarter than he was —and left disappointed. —Hard Drive: Bill Gates and the Making of the Microsoft Empire by James Wallace and Jim Erickson (Founders #140)[27:22] The young hurl themselves into vast problems that have troubled the world's best thinkers, believing that they can find a solution. It is well that they should for, from time to time, one of them does. — Autobiography of a Restless Mind: Reflections on the Human Condition Volume 2 by Dee Hock. (Founders #261)[29:30] He concentrated ferociously on his quest.[29:43] We live in the age of infinite distraction.[30:03] My whole life has been spent trying to teach people that intense concentration for hour after hour can bring out in people resources they didn't know they had.[30:29] Among all the components and Land's intellectual arsenal, the chief one seems to be simple concentration. — The Instant Image: Edwin Land and The Polaroid Experience by Mark Olshaker. (Founders #132)[41:50] A Landian question took nothing for granted, accepted no common knowledge, tested the cliche, and treated conventional wisdom as an oxymoron.[42:44] A Triumph of Genius: Edwin Land, Polaroid, and the Kodak Patent War by Ronald Fierstein  (Founders #134)[48:33] They had no alternative but to succeed with the camera. Everyone left at Polaroid knew that at the present rate of decline the business, the company, and their jobs would not survive 1947.[55:45] Smith estimated that throughout the eighties he spent at least four hours a day reading. He found he relied quite heavily on his own vision, backed by assimilating information from many different disciplines all at once. “The common trait of people who supposedly have vision is that they spend a lot of time reading and gathering information, and then synthesize it until they come up with an idea." — Overnight Success: Federal Express and Frederick Smith, Its Renegade Creator by Vance Trimble (Founders #151)[59:05] If you're not good, Jeff will chew you up and spit you out. And if you're good, he will jump on your back and ride you into the ground. — The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon by Brad Stone. (Founders #179) [1:02:24] They were among the first of the park's attractions to be finished, but the pressure of time was already weighing on everyone. One day John Hench stopped by to check the progress on the coaches and had an idea, which he brought to his boss. "Why don't we just leave the leather straps off, Walt? The people are never going to appreciate all the close-up detail."Walt Disney treated Hench to a tart little lecture: "You're being a poor communicator. People are okay, don't you ever forget that. They will respond to it. They will appreciate it."Hench didn't argue. "We put the best darn leather straps on that stagecoach you've ever seen."— Disney's Land: Walt Disney and the Invention of the Amusement Park That Changed the World by Richard Snow. (Founders #158)[1:05:53] There is no such thing as group originality or group creativity or group perspicacity. I do believe wholeheartedly in the individual capacity for greatness. Profundity and originality are attributes of single, if not singular, minds.[1:10:32] There's nothing more refreshing than thinking for a few minutes with your eyes closed.[1:11:00] The present is the past biting into the future.----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out. The only criticism I would have is that after each podcast I usually want to buy the book because I am interested so my poor wallet suffers. ” — GarethBe like Gareth.

The expression of art has had its importance within the Islamic tradition, however now, sometimes Muslim creatives aren't always given the space to fully realize their form of spiritual expression. Developing spiritually for anyone can done in more ways than one—and for many people that is through art forms such as poetry, prose, or literature. On this episode, Tareq Touré speaks on the idea of spiritual expression. Tariq Touré is a poet and native son of West Baltimore that has produced art reaching across hearts and continents. His poetry and prose has been featured in award winning publications such as Muslim Matters, Salon, Washington Post, Al Jazeera, The Nation Magazine and Sapelo Square. He uses prose as medium for shedding new light on issues such as social justice, racial inequality, black culture and Black Muslim narratives. Follow him @tariqtoure
