Something From Everything
by Matthew Rigby
Life has meaning.Yours. Mine. Everyone’s.That’s it! That’s my big audacious claim.Now, some may claim to know what that meaning is. But my suspicion? They’re making it up. Because we all are. And that, is a very good thing. Us humans, we are meaning making machines. Pattern recognizers. Maybe even pattern inventors. We are storytellers. And the stories we receive and tell, they shape us. They help us create and discover our meaning.So where do we get these stories? Some might argue that we only create meaning from our most established teachers: Our family of origin, our culture, our greatest thinkers, and our sacred texts and traditions. And we can certainly create meaning from these.But, we also discover meaning through unexpected and commonly overlooked means: Watching our children play with abandon. Losing ourself in the well chosen words of our favorite song or poem. By noticing how a moment of solitude can both embrace us and unnerve us. If we are paying enough attention

S1E1 - The Territory You Have Already Entered
Episode Notes I owe the whole notion of "The Territory We Have Already Entered" to David Whyte, and his conversation with Krista Tippett (an On Being podcast, link below). From this comes the idea that any space we find ourselves in (even this most mundane and familiar) is full of complexity and...
