I’ve never been one to follow the rules as they’ve been laid out by others. I don’t rebel for rebellion’s sake, but I DO ask myself with every breath, every choice, “is this in keeping with TRUTH, or is it in keeping with someone else telling me what’s true?” It can be a lonely path, and I often find myself longing for a spiritual community like the one I sense is formed at Harvard. Alas! I have no letter of recommendation from the Dali Lama (which is what I hear it takes to be accepted to Harvard Divinty School), so I am grateful for the public access—via this podcast—that I am granted.
This podcast can be a little pretentious (at times it feels like a long form commercial for the product that is HDS), but it also can open the door to phrases like “the most divine freaks” (Robin Coste Lewis). I’ve been reading the books written by guests and professors I meet here (Brian Morarescu and Todne Thomas, for example) and while my resumé may never include “Harvard grad,” my spiritual resumé continues to grow through offerings such as this. Thanks, HDS, for making this podcast available to us small-town divine freaks of the world.
