Episode 21: We're all f*cked so follow your heart
Listen to this episode
Summary
In this conversation, Jacob and Scott talk about the importance of honoring your soul, despite the fears and insecurities that push you to do otherwise, despite a lifetime of conditioning and the expectations of others, despite the ease with which we can choose to pretend and play small. They talk about developing our capacity to listen — to nature, to our inner-beings, to the mysteries and miracles all around us. The friends reflect on this time in our reality, when they and many across the globe are choosing to honor what’s true for them, as scary and difficult as that can be. They talk about energy and momentum and how much sense things can make when we start paying attention to our choices and noticing what those choices create. Today’s reading, from Emma Zeck: hey guys, i wanted to let you know that i checked the news today and Fox and CNN and NPR and the NYT all had one very important announcement to make: everything is absolutely fucked!!!!!!!! so if we’re gonna be f*cked, there’s no time for blinking or thinking or shrinking!!!! we must f*ck good and deep and long! call it a day! call it a life! there’s only time for buying every jar of parmesan and making cheese candles! i don’t know! sell them! sneak into every abandoned castle in the city! marry an owl! makeout every day! clap your feet at the concert! wear heelies! move to Tibet! become a sheep herder! prank call your ex! spend all your money! dress in a jellyfish costume for no reason! decorate your home with parrot feathers! dazzle your neck with salami links! speak with a british accent! convince everyone! only eat spam for the rest of your life! lose all your teeth! go to jail in a foreign country! become a member of parliament!
