Aliveness

Can we find a sense of aliveness rooted in our everyday lives? Does the magic of life disappear as we age? How do we take responsibility for our own aliveness? In today’s episode, we are exploring all these questions and more to get at the heart of what it means to live fully and deeply, swimming in a sea of fear, courage, and connection.  When we stop taking risks, aliveness shrinks.  When we ignore hard feelings, aliveness suffers. When we hide from the world, aliveness is elusive.  We invite you to get curious and consider: what areas of life are calling for you attention?  References: Richard Rohr quote: “Mystery is not something you can’t know. Mystery is endless knowability. Living inside such endless knowability is finally a comfort, a foundation of ultimate support, security, unrestricted love, and eternal care. For all of us, it takes much of our life to get there; it is what we surely mean by ‘growing’ in faith. I can’t prove this to you. Each soul must learn on its own, hopefully aided by observing other faith-filled people.” Gilmore Girls episode "The Third Lorelai"  Ladybird: "Don't you think maybe they are the same thing -- love and attention?"
