Towards a natural philosophy.

    Meaning is Given (and Worth the Effort To Find It)

    Meaning is Given (and Worth the Effort To Find It)

    The nature of light is dual, as it is both a particle and a wave. The same is true for people. They are particles of individuality. But get one of those individualities to start a wave on the sidelines of a parade and they become part of a wave. Just like light, we are both. We are individuals yet part of the wave of humanity. To participate in this wave evokes a natural sense of honor.

    Look Deep Into Nature. Gemini Season Begins!

    Look Deep Into Nature. Gemini Season Begins!

    Metaphorcast for May 22- 28, 2023

    The mobius flow between object and subject is as mysterious as can be. As the double air extraordinaire duo of Lennon and Mcartney sing "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together."

    And yet somehow, to paraphrase the great Gemini Walt Whitman, out of the multitudes that we contain, emerges something with unity. Somehow the many things people and places we encounter merge into a continuous construction of values from which we navigate and orient.

    The Role of the Gradient. How Life Emerges Through the Ups and Downs.

    The Role of the Gradient. How Life Emerges Through the Ups and Downs.

    It is generally agreed upon that life has its ups and downs. But what if life actually emerges out of the ups and downs? What if life is like a shimmering verb that doesn't "have anything" let alone its ups and downs. What if life only emerges with respect to the ups and downs?

    Charge! Metaphorcast for May 1-7, 2023

    Charge! Metaphorcast for May 1-7, 2023

    All is animated with the charge of meaning. We are all charged with making some sense out of this life, with hearing the music that comes from strings pulled taught with time's tension.

    Mud-Luscious. Metaphorcast for April 24-30, 2023

    Mud-Luscious. Metaphorcast for April 24-30, 2023

    Up here in Vermont, we have had some rain, rendering the land, in the words of e.e. Cummings "mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful". The daffodils appear near supernatural in their yellow glow. 

    And they are supernatural. They arise from the super spirited powers of nature.

Like radio lab meets Joseph Campbell.

Tess brings myth, science, language, film and astrology together to create a deep vision of the interrelatedness of things. Highly recommended for astrologers as well as those simply interested in the natural world. Tess has a way with her calm voice and quirky (sometimes hilarious) edits to keep you fully engaged throughout the episodes. It is clear that she has done her research and delivers the information in a poignant and supremely entertaining way. You will see the world and yourself with a fresh new vision. Can't wait for more episodes!!
