Okra Teaches Flexibility

Today’s podcast centers around okra, a fruit brought by the enslaved from Africa and eaten across the South. It’s a critical ingredient in gumbo.Okra thrives in harsh conditions and symbolizes flexibility, survival, and resilience. My guides tell me that okra teaches us to be more flexible in life, including how you think about yourself. Stop all that self-judgment!They remind us to become a part of the physical world, but don’t lose yourself, that core light that’s the real you, or you’ll miss the true gift of flexibility: joy.
