Putting lives back together after the battle.By FinalStand. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.Either you embrace Change and are destroyed by it, or you resist Change and are overwhelmed by it. What is your choice? (The Politics of 'Not' Being Dead)The rest of the trip was made in silence. They dropped us off at the edge of Miercurea Ciuc, home base of the 61st Mountain Troops Brigade, of Professor Loma and from whence all this craziness had originated. The meeting was already awkward before I arrived. It only got worse. Where to begin? Well, Russia, the United States, the UK, Romania, Hungary and Ireland were now all interested parties. And I had gained two personal distinctions:1.) Not only was I now heralded (and not really joking anymore) by some sources as Magyarorszag es Erdely Hercege, I was thereby re-awakening old nationalistic and territorial fears. Hungary didn't want a Prince, yet they did have an anemic Monarchist party. I might not be a Hapsburg (the last royal house of Hungary), but I could possibly be misconstrued as a long-lost Árpád scion (first King and founder of the Hungarian state), which would be even better.A crisis was looming in my ancestral crucible. It seems I already had a webpage in Budapest and six hundred "friends" within 24 hours. Worse, they had some pictures of me. Besides being 'of regal bearing' in the descriptions, I was sexy-hot and a soldier of fortune, a modern day 'Wild Geese, (Goose?)' who was wanted for questioning in a, or perhaps multiple, murder(s) involving either a duel over a woman's honor or killing a dozen armed gangsters who prayed on young innocents newly arrived to the big city.I wasn't alone. My trusty companion was A.) an ascetic Jedi Mistress (my own, personal Yoda), B.) an ancient witch schooled in the necromantic arts (apparently the reason I couldn't die), or C.) a Cold-War Era SMERSH (too much James Bond) assassin repaying an old debt to the descendent of an anti-communist partisan she'd killed years ago, eerily close to the truth for once. That, plus the TEK investigation, were Hungary's main points of concern involving me.2.) I was now a person involved in significant events for half a dozen nations on the world scene.Let's start with Romania. Okay, foremost, I was responsible for the single deadliest day in modern (post-WWII) Romanian Land Forces history. There was no covering this up. Close to one hundred men and women had died in combat, and then you added the forty-some dead Amazons, many of them apparently tortured, and this was a political and public relations nightmare.No one doubted their troops behaved heroically. That wasn't the problem. The political conundrum was how could they explain Ajax and his fifty seasoned killers penetrating into central Romania with no one being aware of the danger? A few politicians wanted to blame Székely nationalists (by that, they meant the ethnic minority who 'vaguely' wanted Transylvania to rejoin Hungary), except they had me, the Hungarian Prince, leading the charge.Life would have been so much easier for them if I had died. Yes, I could read the minds of those politicians. Screw a girl, then her younger sister, and then his wife, who all say they love me, and you'll recognized the emotional intent a father directs your way. (I'd only done that once, and once was enough.) I was getting that vibe again.Unfortunately for them, I wasn't dead and three big time foreign governments (and Ireland) seemed really curious about me, my performance and my mortality. So dragging me out back for a firing squad wasn't going to happen. Riki Martin of the US State Department was there and she told me a representative of the US Military Mission was on his way up to debrief me. Russia's sexy military attaché was still on site and looking happy for some reason. Flaviu, who had some experience with me, was soon to be gone; replaced by some person who had some serious lettuce before his actual name and didn't know me from didly. Not good.The UK had one of their diplomats coming up as well, just so I didn't get lonely. They weren't driving up with the Irishman, or the American. No one considers their carbon footprint in a crisis, I swear. But wait! It gets better. My Romanian Special Force dudes had brought the rest of their company (around a hundred new buddies) with them, they seriously didn't want me to get homesick and wander off (because, you know, I liked living and freedom).The Romanian army shouldn't have worried. It seemed that there were some US Army Rangers with NATO in Kosovo, Albania, or Bosnia and Uncle Sam was expressing a desire for them to 'stop by'. Maybe they could share their C-130 with the British paratroopers who were equally concerned about my well-being. I just hoped everyone was going to play nice when the Spetsnaz arrived. Putin was suddenly (and surprisingly to me, anyway) my new pal. I had a feeling I'd soon be discovering my secret Russian heritage if I wasn't careful. I was thinking maybe I could squeeze an Order of Lenin, or a Hero of the Soviet Union out of him. I heard they both looked nice, were obsolete and came without an actual pension.If Katrina wouldn't let me write off this calamity as PTO, I was going to be irate. I was on the verge of having a large family to support after all, unless you considered me marrying a billionaire's heiress to be compensation enough. The only group involved who weren't trying to actually see me was the Khanate.Temujin most likely had some shamanistic mojo that would let him know if I croaked. That bit smacked of paganism, so it was kept under wraps because he had to appear dutifully Islamic for the masses. Still, some koumiss would have been nice. Heck, right then I could have gone for an 'atta boy', perhaps even a 'two thumbs up'.Oh yeah; the general of the 4th Romanian Division wanted me to stop by when I had the chance (if I didn't, he'd send men to kill me, or so it was insinuated). The 61st Mountain Troops was part of his division's combat command and if the General Staff went looking for someone to crucify, he was making damn sure it wasn't going to be him.It occurred to me that I could send a handsome-looking Spetsnaz (if there was such a thing) to go in my place. They were brother Slavs, right? I was sure that between the 'Fall of the Berlin Wall', Moldavian Independence and Romania joining NATO, they would have much to discuss. Out of the blue, Pamela smacked me on the back of my head, Jethro Gibbs' style. My 'more-evil Russian doppelganger' idea must have been poorly thought out.Before I could implement that silliness, or trigger the big brouhaha, there was a preamble: I had three compatriots. Of greater importance, I had three heavily armed/gravely-serious bodyguards who wouldn't surrender their weapons and/or abandon me. So I thought "play nice" thoughts to myself.Diplomacy, sovereignty and legality all reared their ugly heads. I wasn't really an Irish diplomat. My paperwork was still valid, but the Romanian government hadn't permitted my entry into their country under the standard diplomatic protocols. Ireland wanted to talk to me about that, why was I running around armed and killing people in two Central European countries? I was acting more like an Irish adventurer from the 17th century, than a genteel civil servant from the 21st.Then there was the niggling little complication that involved me, my friends and our criminal possession of military-grade hardware. Chaz had the dubious excuse of being an official British government agent on assignment. That meant he could hope for a prisoner exchange within the next decade. Rachel and Pamela were private citizens with painfully sketchy proofs of US citizenship.When the Romanian legal system finished buggering them, it would be off to Hungry and its serious inquiry into all the dead bodies we'd left in our wake. Who was I kidding? What I was really worrying about was how many members of the Romanian penal system would die when they escaped. Their flimsy identities gave no clue to how dangerous they actually were. Hell, they'd beat me home.I had the added difficulty of Ireland and their questions about who the fuck I was and why I had their gold filigree on something I didn't deserve sitting snugly in my back pocket.So first off, this new band of 'Eagles' wanted to disarm and separate us."Don't insult me," I scoffed. "I am your Prince. Don't make me explain it to your widow.""I'm not married," the Lieutenant snarled back, daring me."Well, rush out and marry somebody. I haven't got all day. We don't want me to be caught in an idle boast now do we?" I grinned. Verbal sparring apparently wasn't in his repertoire."What?""Shut the fuck up, Carl," Chaz blithely inserted himself into the conversation."But you don't even speak Romanian," I countered. "How do you even know what I said?" The Romanians didn't know English, but they knew Carl. The tension between us ebbed."By the expression on the officer's face, Hercege," he winked. "It's universal to the brotherhood.""Who is he with?" The officer questioned me."You and he are the same," I answered."You cannot go any farther armed," he returned to his mission parameters."I don't envy you going in and telling the Colonel to come out here, but so be it," I held my ground."We could kill you and take them off your corpses," he studied my reaction."You are the second handsome man to tell me that today," I shook my head. "I'll tell you what I told him: 'you sure are cute, just not my type'." Pause then laughter."You are a madman," the lieutenant snorted. "I'll go talk to the Colonel."I was a jerk, loved maidens and was a master of bullshit. Did that make me a modern day Minotaur? The lieutenant came back out, then ushered me inside; Riki had to wait for the moment. He motioned my team come along. In the staff room of the 61st were a handful of officers and several suits."Mr. Nyilas," the Colonel gazed upon me. "I don't know what to make of you.""You and my Mother both," I mumbled. Despite the somber atmosphere, a few of the men and women let their moods lighten. They didn't hold my levity against me. I'd been there, on the battlefield and if humor was how I dealt with the experience, so be it."Ha," the greying man mused. "It is wholly my fault that I disregard most of the information you supplied my staff. You were unerringly accurate in your assessment of our enemy's capabilities. I know my men and I know how good they are. Veteran commanders can barely describe what my troops endured. You warned us and I didn't believe you. I was wrong and my men died because of it," he sighed."Sir, I do not believe you could have done anything else and succeeded," I interrupted."Succeeded? Is this what you consider success?" he hardened."Absolutely, Sir. Had you been slower to respond, those men would have most likely come here, to Miercurea Ciuc, and you would have fought the same battle, except your civilians would have been caught in the mix," I lied.If Ajax had escaped he'd have hunted me down. The location would have been irrelevant to him. How he knew where to be was a question for later and something to be presented to smarter, more experienced minds."Perhaps," he allowed. "They were heading north when we encountered them.The Alal in me was going back over the plan. It had been sound."Sir, you had every reason to doubt my military experience and to believe I exaggerated the threat. I was right and I take no joy in that, nor do I think anyone can hold your decisions against you," I stated.Now he gave a bitter laugh. Yes, they could hold all the deaths against him."We both know your men and women didn't die for their country, they killed for it. Quite frankly, I believe they killed some of the most vicious creatures to ever walk the face of the Earth. Fuck them for taking so many of us. Pile their bodies up and burn them," I suggested."They deserve no more Romanian soil than a spot to inter their ashes," I concluded."You do not sound like any diplomat I've ever met," the Colonel regained his gruff exterior."I'm not. I'm a fraud. I know as much about Ireland as I do about being a prince," I confessed. "That said, I didn't come here to kill anyone. I came to save lives.""How has that worked out for you?" a sitting woman in a suit questioned, in Romanian. She was slender, waspish and didn't sound comfortable speaking English, though she knew enough to get by."I am not a fortune-teller. I don't know how this is going to work out," I said."That's not what I asked," she prodded."Yes it was," I corrected her. "You wanted to know if I thought the price of your dead countrymen was worth the life of me, my friends and the lives of your countrymen I came to save. I can't measure the promise of those lives against the loss of all the dead. Don't play games with me. I'm have a degree in Philosophy and I eat morally ambiguous people like you for lunch."Pamela laughed aloud and lively."Kimberly and Katrina would be so proud of you right now," she chortled."I don't think you grasp the deep pit your find yourself in, Friend" the suit stayed chillingly calm."Oh, I think we all know we both screwed the pooch big time," I smirked. "The difference is me and mine are all happy to be alive after two of the most trying, fun-filled days of our lives. You want to throw us in prison. The Hungarians want to throw us in prison. I'm sure if I get back to the States, they will want to put us in prison too. Have I missed anyone?""I'm glad you will confess. It will make it easier on us," she grinned like sexy weasel."Wait," Rachel put a restraining arm on me. "I've wanted to say this for some time." To the weasel, "Blow it out your ass, dipshit.""Rachel, you don't know what she said," Pamela faux-gasped."I don't know the words, but I know what he meant," Rachel glowered. She missed Charlotte so much, she was willing to court pain and death. "I want to go back in time and slap her mother repeatedly for not strangling her in the crib. Is that succinct enough?""I apologize for ever meeting you, Rachel. I've brought you to a bad end," I gave her a tender look."It's okay. I never thought I'd live long enough to sleep with you anyway," she smiled back.Phifft, sigh. It was so sad that I recognized the sound of a low-caliber, silenced round."Listen up, dipshit," Pamela snickered. "Good one, Rachel. If you don't believe the next one is going through your skull, you clearly haven't been listening to us. You are fucking with the wrong monkeys. You have this bizarre idea that if I kill you, your government won't replace your worthless, bullet-riddled hide with someone we find more agreeable. My grandson sent in motion a half million combatants a few hours ago, he nearly died leading your soldiers against your nation's enemies and you want him to kiss your shoes as if you matter at all in the grand scheme of things?" she snarled. "Think again."No one was moving because Pamela had her silenced 22 Beretta out and pointed at Weasel's head. The SF's were caught flat-footed, as was everyone else. No guards came rushing in because the closed doors further muffled the sound. "I think this is a good time for us to get a drink," Chaz advised as he slowly reached out and lowered Pamela's gun hand.It was Pamela's gunboat diplomacy yet again. She hadn't meant to kill the women. Hell, she'd been a random target of opportunity. What Pamela had done was clear up the doubts in the room. Everyone on the staff could self-consciously let themselves off the hook for not being in the front lines, risking themselves with their comrades. Thanks to Pamela, they too had confronted violence.'Crazy' Grandma had fired off her piece and everyone sighed with relief when Chaz got her to lower it. I was pretty sure Chaz was in on this dangerous game. It resided with the Colonel as to how to resolve this hiccup in our dispute."Mr. Nyilas, why don't we take a walk outside, just the two of us?" he 'requested'.I nodded because I'm not always as dumb as I look. He was letting my people off with incredible temperance and I could honorably send them away. They'd scoped out the scene and believed I'd be safe enough. He, in turn, had an excuse to take a step away from his political watchdogs."I think that is for the best," I nodded. "Do you want me to leave my guns behind?""No, Mr. Nyilas, we might run into trouble out there and one of my Captains has suggested you are a man who can take care of himself," he replied. That was very nice of him indeed. If I did do something stupid, he had a ton of troops about who would make my regrets rather temporary. I decided to behave as if I had a passing acquaintance with sanity.His first questions were about the fighting at the ruins. I peppered our exchange with my interest in what had happened to the advance force of the 22nd. It was bleak news, yet the Colonel felt a sense of relief. He was coming to accept the lethality of his enemies, which in turn, led to an understanding, if not acceptance, of the carnage his men had been subjected to.He was in a cycle of context, grief, context. He'd gambled on me and men died. Once the battle was joined though, his soldiers had done precisely the right thing under considerable stress. He could be proud without dishonoring the dead. Only Pamela and I had engaged Ajax earlier. Only I had talked with the man.The Colonel had to look into my eyes to get the spark that led to understanding the mind and ruthlessness of his opponent. The name 'Ajax' never came up. That was more than a rational mind could accept at the moment. He knew his men had fought and killed the best and that helped him cope a tiny bit. Our interview ended when the first of the unwanted guests arrived.Only when I walked inside did it occur to me that this had been my first soldier to soldier chat. We had respected one another and discussed matters like men who knew the score. That was depressing in its own right. It was well passed nightfall when we went back inside. In our absence, Riki had started to redeem my existence. My salvation lay in Romantic Americana Symbolism.Translation: I was a Horatio Alger, a working class kid raised by a widower father, who earned a scholarship to a quiet New England college, graduated near the top of my class and gotten an excellent job (salary and benefits not disclosed). That was the was the first part of the Americana, proof positive that America was still the land of opportunity and a place where poor children could still reach the highest levels of society (umm, okay?).The second Americana Part: my Father had been murdered in a case of mistaken identity. Those heavily-armed foreign corporate/rogue governmental-sponsored terrorist mercenaries (their exact origin was shrouded in double-dealing misinformation) had ruthlessly murdered my Pa to cover up their error. Like any true Son of the American Dream, I had sworn vengeance.The Symbolic Part: My compassionate, understanding government (the good governmental servants of Republican Democracy, not the bad, hires the covert, secret, black-bag, unaccountable private contractors/ pawns of the Wall Street Elite bureaucrats) allowed me to participate in a multi-national taskforce. These selfless guardians of the freedom had formed a coalition which had hunted down the villains.With the priceless assistance of two Central European countries, who currently had to remain nameless (cough: Hungary and Romania), we'd achieved a final, violent confrontation in which my allies and I had emerged bloody, scarred, yet victorious. Once more, free men and women had answered the call of duty and some had made the ultimate sacrifice.See, I had a good government that cared enough about me to let me become a gun-toting menace to the civilized world. Like a Hollywood Western hero of the 1950's, 60's and 70's, I had taken personal revenge against the forces of wickedness, exit the railroad tycoons and cattle barons, enter the shadowy world of private security forces and uncontrolled corporate capitalism.

Today, Matt & Todd cover 1978's The Wild Geese, directed by Andrew V. McLaglen and starring Richard Burton, Richard Harris, and Roger Moore. If you've seen "The Wild Geese," you understand where we're coming from. If you've made assumptions about how this movie might handle apartheid-era politics, don't—because it didn't think too hard about it. The movie reflects that in nearly every character, why they're there, and what they're doing. This is not a message film, nor a political one. We appreciate the sense of honesty the film has about what it is doing and why. The movie remains controversial for filming within South Africa during a time of heightening pressure against the oppressive regime, causing early bad publicity towards the film and outright bans in several countries. On the surface, "The Wild Geese" is a straightforward action-adventure starring a cast of older stars whose characters are looking for profit and adventure. It is fair to point out the film for not getting into the socio-political problems it references, or the real-life mission it was inspired by. While forming that criticism, we think it is important to remember: It is a film made by one of the most mercenary operations in existence—filmmaking and exploiting something for entertainment without thinking too hard about it. We feel it handles the subject matter about as well as could be. If nothing else this film sticks to the clear motivations of the main characters with glints of humanity that may not be the best developed, but these are pretty single-minded lads by nature. If you're an action fan, this should entertain you; it is thrilling, tense, and dramatic in just the right places. You can also check out two critics we respect saying the exact opposite: Roger Ebert - ("...dumb movie...", "...stay away...") and Gene Siskel - ("dull", "Dog of the Year") Ebert's opening line about the cast is objectively funny. We didn't watch this review before recording ours, and I can only imagine what they would have thought us. As always, thank you for listening, and Happy New Year!

In 1719, the 17-year-old Polish Princess Maria Clementina Sobieska was seized by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI. While the move shocked many in Europe, in the following months a group of Irish exiles plotted a daring rescue of Maria Clementina. This led to a dramatic 400-kilometer chase across 18th-century Europe.In this episode, I am joined by historian Richard Maher, an expert in the area, who explains why Irish exiles, known as the Wild Geese, risked their lives to rescue this Polish princess and how they hoped she might change the course of Irish history.You can follow Richard on Linkedin at https://ie.linkedin.com/in/richard-maher-a5ab8068Subscribe to my new podcast with historian Damian Shiels.

Lyndsay Rush was never a big fan of poetry. But after discovering the world of internet poets through Instagram, she discovered that writing poetry could be attainable–and fun. Now, Rush is out with a new collection of poems, partially drawn from her popular Instagram account, @maryoliversdrunkcousin. In today's episode, Rush speaks with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly about the origins of the author's Instagram handle, Rush's reinterpretation of Mary Oliver's poem "Wild Geese," and the book's dedication to Michelle Pfeiffer.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Wild Geese- A Short Yoga Nidra I heard the geese flying over our cottage this early morning and thought I'd send out a short Yoga Nidra, including Mary Oliver's lovely poem Wild Geese. To set the mood, you'll hear chickadees, a squirrel or two, blue jays and the rustling of wind in the high trees.

7 a.m. It's a cool, blue morning, and we are seated alongside the Coosa River in Alabama. Our guided meditation practice begins with mindful breathing and sensory awareness. This is an opportunity for cosmic connection and deep relaxation.It is silent except for the birds' morning chorus and a whisper of wind through the river grasses.Gradually, a family of geese make themselves known, and we are instantly reminded of Mary Oliver's poem Wild Geese, which ends with the line - {...} the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting — over and over announcing your place in the family of things.Today's poetic meditation is inspired by this invitation to remember our place in the family of things, to maintain a mindful awareness of our relationship with nature, to re-weave ourselves into the animate earth around us. Join me for this 6-minute, nature-inspired meditation.Creek Native Americans were the first people to hear the sounds of the Coosa River that are played in this meditation.Thank you to Brianna Nielsen for production and editing support.

The poetry of healing, the healing of poetry.  Poetry has long been recognized for its therapeutic and healing qualities, both for the writer and the reader. The act of creating or engaging with poetry can be a powerful tool for processing emotions, finding meaning, and fostering personal growth. Poetry offers a unique language that can express complex emotions and experiences that may be difficult to articulate in everyday speech. It can provide solace during times of grief, trauma, or illness by offering words that resonate with one's inner experiences. For those struggling to find language for their pain, poetry can serve as a bridge, helping to connect thoughts, feelings, and memories. Many medical professionals, including Dr. Rafael Campo, have recognized the value of poetry in healthcare settings. Campo, a poet and physician, incorporates poetry into his medical practice and teaching, using it to foster empathy and understanding among healthcare providers. He believes that poetry can help doctors better connect with their patients and understand the human experience of illness. The healing power of poetry extends beyond individual experiences to community healing as well. Poems can offer comfort, inspiration, and a sense of shared humanity. Collections like "Poems of Healing" anthologize works that address illness, recovery, and spiritual healing, providing readers with a diverse array of voices and perspectives on the healing journey. Ultimately, the relationship between poetry and healing is reciprocal. As poetry aids in healing, the process of healing itself often inspires new poetry, creating a continuous cycle of expression, understanding, and growth. Poetry can be a powerful tool for processing traumatic experiences in several ways: 1. Expression of complex emotions: Poetry provides a unique language to articulate complex emotions and experiences that may be difficult to express in everyday speech. This can help individuals give voice to feelings that might otherwise remain bottled up. 2. Gentle approach to difficult topics: Poetry allows for the use of metaphor and imagery to address trauma indirectly, providing a gentler way to approach painful memories. This can make the process of confronting trauma less overwhelming. 3. Creation of meaning: Writing poetry about traumatic experiences can help individuals make sense of what happened and find meaning in their suffering. This meaning-making process is crucial for healing and growth after trauma. 4. Bilateral brain activation: The act of constructing a poem engages both emotional and cognitive processes, activating different parts of the brain. This integration can help in processing and reframing traumatic memories. 5. Safe exploration: Poetry offers a safe space to explore and process trauma at one's own pace. The use of persona or metaphor allows for some emotional distance while still addressing the core issues. 6. Coping mechanism: Writing poetry can serve as a coping strategy, providing an outlet for difficult emotions and a way to manage trauma-related symptoms. 7. Connection and validation: Sharing poetry about trauma can help individuals feel less alone in their experiences and can foster a sense of connection with others who have gone through similar ordeals. By offering a unique blend of emotional expression, cognitive processing, and creative exploration, poetry can be a valuable tool in the journey of healing from trauma. Counselors can integrate poetry into the healing process for trauma through several methods: 1. Receptive/Prescriptive Approach: Read poems aloud to clients and encourage them to react, either verbally or non-verbally. This can help clients connect with their emotions and start processing their trauma. 2. Expressive/Creative Writing: Encourage clients to write their own poetry. This can help them discover and articulate blocked emotions and memories. Prompts can be used to facilitate this process. 3. Symbolic/Ceremonial Techniques: Use metaphors and similes to help clients express emotions that are difficult to describe literally. Ceremonial acts, like writing and then burning a letter, can also be therapeutic. 4. Meaning-Making: Poetry helps clients create meaning from their experiences, which is crucial for healing. This can involve constructing narratives around their trauma, which aids in cognitive and emotional integration. 5. Gentle Exploration: Use metaphor and persona to allow clients to address trauma indirectly, providing a safer way to explore painful memories. These methods can be tailored to the client's readiness and comfort level, ensuring a supportive and effective therapeutic experience. Here are some examples of healing poetry from the search results: 1. "The Uses of Sorrow" by Mary Oliver - This short poem conveys how even painful experiences can be gifts, offering a perspective shift on suffering. 2. "Love after Love" by Derek Walcott - Explores healing through the passage of time and learning to love oneself again. 3. "Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou - An inspirational poem about resilience and rising above adversity. 4. "Kindness" by Naomi Shihab Nye - Reflects on how experiencing loss allows us to understand and practice true kindness. 5. "The Wild Geese" by Mary Oliver - Offers reassurance about one's place in the world and connection to nature. 6. "The Peace of Wild Things" by Wendell Berry - Evokes finding peace and healing in nature. 7. "The Guest House" by Rumi - Uses the metaphor of welcoming all emotions as guests to encourage acceptance. 8. "The Journey" by Mary Oliver - Depicts the quest of following one's own path despite obstacles. These poems use vivid imagery, metaphor, and reflective language to offer comfort, perspective, and encouragement in times of difficulty. They touch on themes like resilience, self-acceptance, connection to nature, and finding meaning in hardship - all of which can contribute to emotional and psychological healing. Several contemporary poets are known for their healing poetry. Here are some notable examples: 1. Mary Oliver - Her nature-inspired poems like "The Journey" and "Wild Geese" offer solace and perspective, encouraging readers to find healing in the natural world. 2. Naomi Shihab Nye - Known for poems like "Kindness" that explore empathy and human connection as paths to healing. 3. Joy Harjo - The current U.S. Poet Laureate often addresses themes of healing, particularly in relation to Native American experiences and spirituality. 4. Gregory Orr - His work frequently deals with trauma and healing, drawing from his own experiences of loss and grief. 5. Maggie Smith - Her poem "Good Bones" went viral for its hopeful message in difficult times, and much of her work touches on resilience and healing. 6. Rupi Kaur - While controversial in some circles, her accessible poetry on trauma, femininity, and self-love has resonated with many readers seeking healing. 7. Ocean Vuong - His poetry often explores themes of identity, trauma, and resilience, particularly in the context of immigrant experiences 8. Trapeta B. Mayson - As the founder of the Healing Verse Poetry Line, she uses poetry to promote mental health and well-being. These poets approach healing from various perspectives, addressing personal, societal, and environmental wounds through their work.

WILD GEESE by Mary Oliver You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting — over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

Since the 17th century, nearly 10 million Irish people left their homes for an uncertain life abroad. While stories of Irish settlement in the United States and Canada are well-known, the lives of tens of thousands of Irish people who settled in Latin America are much more obscure. In the first Gladio Free Europe solo episode, Liam runs through the long history of the Irish presence in Latin America. As early as the time of Shakespeare many Irish people began pledging their service to the formidable Spanish Empire, out of desperation, defiance, or duty to their Catholic faith. These Irish volunteers, later termed "the Wild Geese," were deployed on Spanish military adventures across the entire known world, but saw their most notable success in the American colonies. Some Irishmen would settle in Latin America as members of the colonial elite, while others would shake the foundations of the Spanish empire and push toward independence. The Irish experience in Latin America would have its most brilliant moment in the middle of the 19th century, after Spain had been evicted from the American continent and a new hegemon emerged. At the start of the Mexican-American war, a group of mistreated Irish recruits and survivors of the great famine defected from American service to join the enemy. Driven by both Catholic and republican ideals, these men would form their own unit to defend the Mexican state against United States aggression. Although the San Patricio Battalion would be short-lived, they played a crucial role in halting the American advance and their sacrifice is a testament to over two centuries of Hispanic-Hibernian cooperation.

Discover the transformative power of self-resonance and non-violent communication with our guest, Sarah Peyton. If you're looking to strengthen your emotional intelligence and enhance your relationships, this episode is for you! In this enlightening episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, Sarah Peyton, an expert in the fields of self-resonance and non-violent communication, joins MommaFoxFire for an insightful conversation. The episode dives deep into the power of language, self-compassion and its impact on personal growth and well-being. The conversation begins with a discussion on self-resonance. Self-resonance involves engaging in a loving and kind dialogue with oneself, similar to the way we would interact with a close friend or loved one. Sarah explains that the brain is not as fixed as previously believed and can change throughout life. Instead of seeing the brain as a static entity by the age of three, researchers now understand its capacity for ongoing growth and development. Sarah provides an excellent metaphor: the brain is like clay, and we have the power to shape it through our thoughts and self-dialogue. She emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the self-critique and harsh judgments that we often impose on ourselves, and how self-resonance can act as a soothing balm, providing understanding and self-compassion. The discussion takes a fascinating turn as Sarah shares her insight into non-violent communication (NVC). Developed by Marshall Rosenberg, NVC encourages us to look beyond surface conflicts and judgments, focusing on the underlying feelings and needs of individuals. Sarah illustrates how adopting this approach can lead to better understanding and connection, not only with ourselves but also in our relationships with others. The power of language becomes apparent throughout the conversation. Sarah highlights the significance of the words we choose when communicating with ourselves and others. She emphasizes that our brains respond to the language we use and that language can be an essential tool for change and growth. Our dialogue touches on how individuals can identify and break free from unconscious contracts they've made with themselves. These contracts may involve an agreement not to be kind to oneself due to various reasons like integrity, care for others, or challenging past experiences. Recognizing and renegotiating these contracts can be transformative. As the conversation progresses, we delve into real-world applications of these concepts. Sarah shares a powerful example of a healthcare company that has integrated self-resonance and relational neuroscience into their business communication. Employees use language that focuses on feelings and needs, fostering improved connections and a more supportive work environment. The episode concludes with a discussion of a beautiful poem by Mary Oliver, "Wild Geese." Sarah reads a portion of the poem that encourages listeners to embrace their vulnerability and connect with the world around them. It's a poignant reminder that embracing our emotions and our softer, more vulnerable sides is an essential part of the human experience. In summary, this episode with Sarah Peyton offers profound insights into the world of self-resonance, non-violent communication and the transformative power of language. It underscores the importance of nurturing self-compassion and fostering deeper connections with others. If you're seeking to strengthen your emotional intelligence and enhance your relationships, this episode is a must-listen. Sarah Peyton's wisdom and insights offer a roadmap to a more understanding, empathetic and fulfilling life.

Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi - ZMM - 10/08/23 - Where do we find stability and balance if not in the midst of the noise, thoughts, myriad events of the day? Where and when are the opportunities to pause and remember to practice? Shugen Roshi continues with his Lojong commentary, on slogan #16: "Whatever you meet unexpectedly, join with meditation", while illustrating with Dogen's True Dharma Eye koan "Baizhang's Wild Geese."

The beliefs we hold inform the quality of our lived experience. With this in mind, this episode invites you to investigate one of the most insidious beliefs that many of us hold -- the belief that you have to be good and that some condition [insert success, wealth, happiness, joy, good things, good results, etc.] will be fulfilled. You do not have to work so hard to be good, to have a good life. If this seems counterintuitive, or even challenging, then this episode is for you. In it we also discuss the key to to re-write limiting beliefs (for good), and ultimately the secret to lasting transformation. If it resonates, don't forget to rate the show & share this episode with one human who you love.

An episode from 8/18/23: What makes a story or prayer or poem last? What circumstances can lead one monarch to order the execution of another? And why, over the past twenty years, was Mary Oliver the best-selling poet in America? Tonight's episode is another three-parter: In the first part, I read from one of the great scholars of the Hebrew Bible in our time, James Kugel. I focus on a passage from his How to Read the Bible, and his summary of the variety of meanings that the twenty-third Psalm have inspired since it was first written. He asks how we judge the validity of any interpretation. In the second part, I read from Peter Ackroyd's Tudors, on the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots (1542-1587). In the third part, I read three poems from the American poet Mary Oliver (1935-2019).

The Wild Geese

On this week's episode, I share how struck I was by a few teams of migrating geese that stopped me in my tracks. Amazed and curious, I learned some interesting facts about geese. Geese have a lot to teach us about conserving energy and working collaboratively together, with rotating leadership. May you let nature and its creatures inspire you and offer important life lessons. May we trust that the world calls us like the wild geese, harsh and exciting - over and over announcing our place in the family of things.

Why does an imposing James Bond henchmen wear a school turban? This is the podcast episode that will answer this question, which you may never have asked, but are surely now desperate to have an answer to! 40 years ago, Del Singh was involved "in a very un-orthodox way" with the 007 franchise. This interview with him is so great, so fun, so lively, it cannot be constrained to a single podcast episode. In this first of two parts, Del explains how he became involved with the filming of 'Octopussy' (1983), after receiving a phone call out of the blue from EON Productions - the dream for any Bond fan! He talks about his time with Roger Moore and Kabir Bedi, who played the imposing Gobinda, and even Del's input into the latter character's wardrobe. Del even comments on the best (and worst) place for a movie crew to buy a turban.Del talked to Roger Moore about his take on Sean Connery's 007, and observed how Moore dealt with this question differently in sessions with journalists. What did Moore claim he could do as Bond that Connery could not? The answer comes at minute 26. We also hear what Moore said his favourite film was (answer at minute 27), and, hear of Roger Moore's experiences filming 'The Wild Geese' (1978) with Richard Burton and Richard Harris. The spectacular train stunts in Octopussy were filmed at the Nene Valley Railways near Peterborough, where Del hails from, back before CGI could be used for such scenes, so we also hear Del's memories of watching these incredible stunts done on location, and the immense risks involved: Del says, "they really do earn their money"!  Out of curiosity, do you know how long a turban is? Message me anytime on Instagram, or e-mail: AlbionNeverDies@gmail.comCheck out my https://www.youtube.com/britishcultureCheck out my Red Bubble shopSeveral subscribers have their postcards and other little 'thank you's in the post, randomly drawn from the list, and one has a free mug on the way!Subscribe to my newsletter: https://youtube.us9.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=b3afdae99897eebbf8ca022c8&id=5165536616   Support the show

Adrian Smith joins me as we return to our long-term discussion of the films of Antonio Margheriti. In the 1980's he made several ‘military men on a mission' films for various producers. These movies aped everything from THE DIRTY DOZEN to RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART 2 (1985) accomplishing much with meager budgets. Margheriti's expertise in special effect work and miniatures were a major help in keeping costs under control. These sometimes great and sometimes insane effects are part of the fun, especially as we get higher definition prints that allow for certain crazy details to become evident.   CODE NAME: WILD GEESE (1984) was the first of trio of jungle action movies Margheriti made with British actor Lewis Collins in the lead and it is easy to see why Collins was briefly considered to play James Bond. He projects ‘tough guy' hardness well and is a solid actor to boot. This film surrounds him with an international cast including an Oscar winner (Ernest Borgnine) and a couple of classic screen bad guys playing nice (Lee Van Cleef and Klaus Kinski) giving everything a sweaty sheen of near-respectability, even if Kinski is very oddly dubbed. Throw in a ridiculous car chase, a few dozen explosions, gratuitous Mimsy Farmer, a surprise villainous turn and it is easy to overlook the regularly disappearing plot, ill-defined motivations and bizarre effects choices. This one is fun in all the over-the-top ways that 1980's action cinema aimed to be. So, hop into that small helicopter and let's torch some opium fields for exciting but vague reasons! Woo hoo!   The show's email is thebloodypit@gmail.com and we'd love to hear your thoughts on this or any of Antonio Margheriti's films. And join Adrian and I on our other program Wild, Wild Podcast as we start a season focused on Luigi Cozzi! Thanks for listening! 

In today's episode, we're wrestling and dancing with Mary Oliver's beloved poem “Wild Geese,” starting with its bold opening line: “You do not have to be good.”  We consider questions like: What if being “good” has been a key part of our identity for years? What does it mean to not be good? Is it an excuse to be selfish?  And what does it mean to “let the soft animal of your body love what it loves”? What might that have to do with self-trust and finding our own voice? ...And what if we are the wild geese?  All this, and much more, in today's episode.    References: “Wild Geese” by Mary Oliver On Being episode with Mary Oliver: "I got saved by the beauty of the world" “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” --from “The Summer Day,” by Mary Oliver  How to be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question, by Michael Schur, creator of the TV show The Good Place  Dr. Becky Kennedy episodes of We Can Do Hard Things
