Wildflowers Through Ash: Finding Strength in Sorrow

In this moving episode, Ray shares a personal memory from a road trip along Route 66 with his late wife—a moment of unexpected beauty at Sunset Crater, where fragile wildflowers grew from volcanic ash. That moment gave birth to the phrase that became his anchor through grief: Life wins. Life always wins. With reflections from the poet David Whyte, mystic Hafiz, and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, Ray explores how life continues to call us forward, even in the depths of loss. Tune in for a story of hope, healing, and the quiet strength that carries us through the darkest moments.
