Episode Synopsis

This episode is a look back on the experiences I’ve had and the things I’ve learned since the Coronavirus Crisis began in Japan one year ago. I focus on the personal for much of it, but tie the collective into the picture in the latter half of the episode.
Among the topics covered are: becoming more in tune with the cycles of time; boundaries as a key theme of 2020; how Just Saying No can free those of us who like to say Yes; the loss of 2020; the freeing nature of the collaborative world we are moving into; finding balance between being and doing; why Bill Gates may have good intentions but bad results because he wants to be the Savior; and a few questions surrounding some of the conspiracy theories of 2020. I end with an addendum about some of the topics I missed---the pandemic itself and how it expressed itself in Japan, the social justice protests of last summer and the presidential election.
To be honest, I hardly even got into all that went down, but I’m doing my best to keep these episodes relatively short so this will do. If you want to spend more time on this topic and in my thinking about it, check out some of the media below.
