    For each layer of progress, there’s some things we ought to keep: Louis Parrish

    I am living a story that is infinitely large; and so are you – Gareth Higgins

    Ok. So I had a little fun with the intro this episode. And it’s possible I went a little fan boy on him as well. It’s my podcast. If you don’t know Gareth, to say he is a movie/film buff is to say the sun is hot. It’s true, but in no way captures the essence. Gareth’s movie knowledge is extensive and his passion unparalleled in any of my circles. Founder and organizer of film festivals, critic, reviewer, and commentator, Gareth brings his own experience to his love of movies. We discuss the power and impact of stories and eventually get into movies and movies as vessels for a story. I am going to try and list all of the movies we talked about but there’s a chance I may have missed one or two. Gareth on Stories: 1.) Is it true. And if not. Is there a truer way I can tell this story. 2.) Am I telling it in the most helpful way. “The key question is: does the story promote life.” “You’re a co-creator, with the divine, of the story of what’s gonna happen next.” MOVIES Bullet Proof Heart https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletproof_Heart_(film) Kramer vs. Kramer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kramer_vs._Kramer Vertigo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertigo_(film) Silence of the Lambs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Silence_of_the_Lambs_(film) Big Hero 6 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Hero_6_(film) Blindspotting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindspotting Avengers: End Game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers:_Endgame Two Lane Blacktop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-Lane_Blacktop Limbo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbo_(1999_film) Smoke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_(film) The Fisher King https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fisher_King The Killing Fields https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Killing_Fields_(film) Ad Astra https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_Astra_(film) The Big Chill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Chill_(film) Dead Poets Society https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Poets_Society

    our dreams can always be bigger: Reid Carpenter

    Brian Ammons introduced me to Reid and then I saw her from time-to-time at Circle of Mercy. I wish I was as cognizant and well spoken of real issues as she is at her age. We talked COVID-19, her activism surrounding racism, and her background as a high schooler in Kenya. I forgot to start with a check in. My bad. Also check out Reid’s blog at http://shatteredsunsunblog.wordpress.com The song on the break is David LaMotte’s Home By Now Check out all of David’s work and activities at www.davidlamotte.com

    communication is flawed: Jen Folkers

    I talked to Jen Folkers about COVID and her work as an ESL instructor for Buncombe County schools. The episode title is not a complete thought and you’ll have to listen to see what Jen says about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns,_Germs,_and_Steel Sound effects used under Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 international.

    if we don’t get these stories out… they will die with us: Marc Mullinax

    Marc Mullinax and I talked COVID and higher education for a bit but then we dive into Tolkien. The Tolkien writings as comparable to our sacred texts. Think about that for a minute. Marc and I discuss that and the power of imaginative fiction (nee fantasy) stories . “All religion is imagination” says the Professor. I love it. Find Marc on social media at: https://www.instagram.com/marcmullinax/ We also talked about: http://www.richardpowers.net/the-overstory/ https://tolkienprofessor.com/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpanH1YqxZ4C_R_BT-2NeSI74UBvEo62Z The title of the episode says it all for me. And its something I am trying to live into as well. I encourage you to get your story out. If you don’t, how can we hear it. I had to look this up because marc kept mentioning it, so I’ll leave this here just in case anyone else needs a refresher: allegory noun al·​le·​go·​ry | \ ˈa-lə-ˌgȯr-ē  \plural allegories Definition of allegory 1: the expression by means of symbolic fictional figures and actions of truths or generalizations about human existence a writer known for his use of allegory also: an instance (as in a story or painting) of such expression. The poem is an allegory of love and jealousy.2: a symbolic representation Liz and Elizabeth Music search @lizandelizabeth on Facebook and Instagram https://www.lihttps://www.lizandelizabeth.com/zandelizabeth.com/

    how to live in all the stories that are surfacing: Brian Ammons

    Ok. To be fair, Brian and I don’t answer the question proposed in the title, but we make some headway. I thought I knew Brian pretty well, but I learned so much while we were talking. Did you know he taught Junior High? Well, ok, maybe you did. But did you know he holds a Masters in Special Ed in addition to his MDiv? Aha – got ya… you knew that too? I didn’t. Well maybe y’all do know Brian better than I do. We didn’t talk about hardly any of that. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. The song we heard in this episode from David Lamotte was called Hope. Find David’s complete catalog and all the other peace, light and life giving stuff he is doing at http://www.davidlamotte.com I wanted to address something I said about 5 minutes into the discussion. I said “the George Floyd thing.” Now, I edited out the extended period of silence and me stammering around trying to find the appropriate word(s) for the issues and actions surrounding the death of George Floyd and everything that has happened since. “Thing” is what I came up with and the conversation continued. As inarticulate and inadequate as labeling the incredible movement started by his death and subsequent events a “thing” is, I still struggle with what to call it. It is larger than his death – decades larger, centuries larger, everyday larger. Its more than Black Lives Matter, White Supremacy, white privilege, white guilt, white fragility. Its oppression, repression, violence, hatred, inequality, inequity, racism, Its a lot of, well, things. I am not trying to minimize the movement – just the opposite. I’m trying not to pigeon hole it or reduce it any way. Its too big and way too important for that. What do you call it? Anti-racism covers a lot. And I have a lot of work to do.

    we need to make a better normal: E Jane Wilson

    It was my pleasure to speak with Jane Wilson, recent graduate of the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics – go Unicorns – and a part of my Circle of Mercy circle. We talked about how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted her school, family, and social life. And should you want to know what her favorite Thai dish is, and why wouldn’t you, she shares that as well. Thanks Jennifer for interrupting us right in the middle of a very deep discussion on the multi-layered controversies surrounding Episodes VII, VIII, and IX of the Star Wars saga to take her Thai order. She was a great conversationalist and a gracious guest. I forgot to hit record on the first part of our conversation so I made her repeat stuff. This might have thrown others off their game, but not Jane.
