S2E7: Hello Darkness My Old Friend

from We Don’t Know w/ Sylvia · host Sylvia Saether

The power (and magic) of letting difficulty work on us instead of sprinting to fix, numb, name, or outrun it. In this episode, I read from Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet and let his words drag us straight into the deep end of sadness, solitude, and the unknown— but not in a depressing way I swear. I riff (and basically just agree with him) on the power (and magic) of letting difficulty work on us instead of sprinting to fix, numb, name, or outrun it. xSylvia ReferencesRainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young PoetRabia (line referenced: “I was born when all I once feared I could love”)Content WarningThe themes go deep per usual so take care of yourself however you need.
