LB 1 | Patience in the Journey
"Perhaps the path of being humbled in our pride, being frustrated by our limitedness, being held back because of barriers is the path needed to learn the patience we need in our lives.
We will only learn to slow down when we’ve run for a thousand miles an hour, and realise that this speed is sustainable. When we get glass in our foot, mould in our books, Covid in our lungs and have to lie in bed in exhaustion."
The journey of living deliberately is filled with frustrations. Frustrations that need patience and lead to patience. Walk with Sam as we take the first steps in living deliberately.
The beautiful pieces of music you hear in the podcast are:
Poddington Bear - Mortality, Pounded Piano, Alsace, Winter Walk
Crowander - Early Sun, Celtic, The Hangover
Sliante - The butterfly. Kid on the Mountain
No Name - Sad Song
Aislinn - Lea rig - Dusty Window -
LB 0.5 | Beginning the Journey into the Woods
"Stripped from things that made me useful and busy, having to drop projects for work without notice, disconnected from others in isolation - I had unknowingly wandered into the woods and to Walden Pond
And now, I had to figure out what it meant to live deliberately. To front only the essential facts of life - sleeping, breathing, eating, going to the bathroom, and see if i could not learn what it had to teach, and not when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
Begin the journey into the woods with Sam as he seeks to discover what it means to live deliberately.
The beautiful pieces of music you hear in the podcast are:
Poddington Bear - Winter Walk, Mortality.
Crowander - Humbug, The Hangover, Let it Last
Sliante - Britches Full of Stitches. Munster Bank. Bill Sullivan's (The A Polkas).
Old Town School Of Folk Music (Various) - Home On The Range.
