Listen "When the Centre Doesn’t Hold: Finding Steadiness in a Divided World"
Episode Synopsis
In a world that demands you choose sides, what happens when you no longer recognise the middle ground?
In this month’s Echoes from the Margins, the monthly companion to Mind the Gap (now in its second season), Michael Comyn reflects on life when the centre no longer holds — in politics, in community, and within ourselves.
From Yeats’ haunting words to ancient Chinese philosophy, from Arabic wisdom to modern psychology, this episode explores how binary thinking has pushed us apart, and why nuance and balance have become rare. Michael invites you to step away from the noise, to discover that the true centre is not a position on a map, but a daily practice of listening, questioning, and living with integrity.
If you have felt pulled to the edges by the world’s divisions, this reflection offers both comfort and challenge.
