Episode 2.4 Reemergence after Devastation

from Pause, Purpose, Possibility · host Chris Johnson & The Milkweed Group, LLC

The last in a series exploring grief, this episode looks at the possibility of reemergence after devastation -- as manifest in the resilience of the natural world after the destruction wrought by a hurricane, or the coming of spring after the pain of deep winter.  Drawing on Parker Palmer's wisdom around the difference between "heart broken apart" and heart broken open," I point to the ways that a broken-open heart can have room for MORE: Grief AND hope, grief AND love, even grief AND joy.
