Ethical Adulthood: A Detroit Soundtrack | The Wood Song by Indigo Girls

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I look at The Wood Song by Indigo Girls as a song about love, meaning, weather, and the old boat we all seem to be traveling in together.This is not a song that says love makes the crossing easy.It says love makes the crossing meaningful.Through memory, humor, and close listening, I explore what it means to travel through life with other people — with our grief, our opinions, our childhoods, our maps, our snacks, and our questionable emotional regulation skills.The Wood Song offers a different teaching than Closer to Fine. Sometimes ordinary life is enough. Sometimes we need to stop making everything a quest and come home to the people we love. And sometimes, for some people, the storm is part of the point.Because some lives, some callings, and some temperaments cannot be fully lived from the shoreline of personal comfort.This episode is about not prescribing your path to everyone else, not mistaking comfort for meaning, and remembering that no one gets to miss the storm.Not the smart ones.Not the spiritual ones.Not the ones who think they've seen this movie already.Thanks for listening.Andrea FiondoKundalini Yoga in DetroitEthical Adulthood: A Detroit Soundtrack
