    On Creativity | Part 2

    Audre Lorde famously professed that “poetry is not a luxury”, but in a culture where survival demands that every moment be productive, it is a complex statement to accept.  Is creativity a blessing or a burden?  What does it mean to live a creative life?   What is the difference between art and commodity, and what do either have to do with living well? This episode is, ostensibly, an investigation into the why behind making for solely aesthetic reasons—but woven into it is the larger question of what it is to be human.

    On Loneliness

    As the new year drapes its hope and exhaust across the city, tall buildings recede, concrete and glass withdrawing behind a smudged-out sky. Iced sidewalks stage angled commuters, heads down, protecting their exposed features from hungry shards of wind. Idle engines rattle through hollowed-out parking lots; puffs of slow-rising gasoline carry that familiar, earth-toned scent; the clamor of metal overtakes a damped chorus of human voices.  In such moments, do you see loneliness or solitude? Peace or isolation?  How does one define the difference?  In this episode, we will explore these questions, and attempt to create paths of meaning from the insights they reveal.

    On Letting Go

    The advice to simply "let go" is common: Forgive and forget. Live and let live. Let bygones be bygones. Water under the bridge. But while it's easy to say, truly letting go is one of life’s greatest challenges. People, places, dreams, and identities must be shed time and again in order to grow. In this episode, we explore what letting go looks like over the course of a lifetime and what it means on a deeper level. Join me as we reflect on who we used to be, so we can become who we need to be. Send us a text Show notes + MORE Watch on YouTube Newsletter Sign-Up
