Tap to send me your reflections ♡
The root of this episode was inspired by a young man I met this summer.
You'll hear the story that prompted today's question: how are you answering the call?
This isn't the first time someone has posed this question - you'll hear I share some of their words too. Yet, I feel it bears repeating.
And while I recognise it may seem particularly pertinent at this time of year, I see it as a universal, eternal question. Something, perhaps, we can all continue to ask.
Thoughts that arise are:
- The words of Mary Oliver’s timeless poem, The Summer Day
- Seneca, Eckhart and Confucius on the shortness of life
- This can be a beautiful time to reflect on what was, to see what is, to look ahead to what will be
- That we may not know the answer to the question, and that’s ok - the importance is we keep listening in for the call
- The choices we have about how we envision the now we are creating
And we close with the same tender, compassionate, curious enquiry: how are you answering the call?
