Free To Rest

In this episode Sascha and I talk about how it feels to hand things over to something we can't see, know or control to tend. We look at moments when we've come to the end of our ability to act and understand but nowhere near the limit of our ability to care or worry. We wonder about what it means to let something go with a belief that it will be caught - by community, by forces of nature, by things we can't define - and how that compares to letting go with a feeling of dread and insufficiency. We note how useful it is for imperial materialism and our constantly adored cell phones to have us feel like we are letting people down when we let thing go unfinished, and hope for ways we might practice new ways to whole-heartedly doing our part - including periods of work and periods of rest - for ourselves, each other and the big unknowable everything we live with.
