Ep 181: Attitude… what is it good for?

By way of Good Will Hunting, C.S. Lewis, and 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, we explore what might be possible with the right orientation.

Ep 182: A g’damn white unicorn with wings!

What are you responsible for? You might have your responsibility assigned to you, and yet you may transform yourself and the world by taking responsibility for something out of your own desire, and your own personality.

Ep 183: Everything the light touches

From the structures of a relationship to the games that we play, how do we discover and use rules for better or for worse. When done well, a script can be flipped, and a life can be transformed.

Ep 184: Old men should be explorers

"Mental health is based on a certain degree of tension, the tension between what one has already achieved and what one still ought to accomplish, or the gap between what one is and what one should become... What man actually needs is not a tensionless state, but rather the striving and struggling for a worthwhile goal, a freely chosen task."

Ep 185: Open the churches and close the bars

“In the middle of the journey of our life I came to myself within a dark wood where the straight way was lost. Ah, how hard a thing it is to tell what a wild, and rough, and stubborn wood this was, which in my thought renews the fear!”
― Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy

Ep 186: Be open to the tension

We celebrate the birth of Matt's daughter, Eletta Claire. 

You came like a sure fire, with unpredictable timing, unstoppable intent, and precise aim. You joined us with a calm precision entering space and time, relaxed, as if arriving pre-curtain.
Eletta - Truth - Veritas
If that is your banner, what is there to fear?
You are the boundary between anticipation and completion.
I look forward to applauding your curtain draw.
Love, 
Dad

Life can be at once wonderful and frustrating, full of joy and full of war. What are we to make of all of that, and how are we to live? We suggest that the answer has something to do with faith.

Truth, fact, science, religion. We're all bothered. What is ending, and what have we missed in our arrogance?
