    Ep. 012 Endings

    I discuss the nature of endings in this episode and how they serve, like beginnings, as merely imaginary poles marking points in a story. Beyond the beginning and the end is a grander tale that no story could ever perfectly capture, leaving us, the readers, always hungry for more. Contact: thespareminute@gmail.com

    Ep. 010 Civil Discourse

    We live in a polarized world of fragmented ideas and values. Deep dividing polarization originates from an ever increasing lack of respectful, open dialogue. If we ever hope to overcome these deepening divides then we need to be brave, listen to each other, and strive to understand before seeking to be understood, especially if we don’t agree.

    Ep. 008 Serendipity

    In this episode I discuss the nature of serendipity, put forth a theory of analog versus digital serendipity (and how one may actually be nestled and subject to the other), and I attempt to tie it all together with the act of mindful awareness of any form of serendipity.
