Echoes of Transformation Episode 2
from The Observer's Seat · host David
Humans seem unusually attached to stories of leaving. Leaving home. Leaving bondage. Leaving certainty. Leaving one version of themselves behind in order to become another. So why do stories of crossings endure? Why do humans preserve them? The story of Exodus, for example, becomes one of humanity's greatest campfires, not because it tells us where people were, but because it introduces the concept of crossing and the subsequent transformations that crossings have on us. This episode quietly speaks about this curious phenomenon and asks the questions of what doors have you walked through, what changed you, and who witnessed it? Welcome back to the campfire. This is The Observer's Seat.Apologies for the mild use of Adult Language in this episode. Parents please exercise editorial restraint before allowing children to listen. Thank You!
