Listen "No Man is an Island"
Episode Synopsis
If no man is an island, where does that leave us when we are in isolation? How can we stay connected to the world around us when we are alone? And how can we savor nature's kingdoms, not just when supplies run short and when excess is no longer available, but at all times? Today, as I welcome you into Circle, we will consider the familiar, centuries old text from John Donne, and explore the meaning of change and connection in our human-centric society. Often people, animals, all beings are treated as a means to an economic end where their value lies only in what they can contribute to the great machine. But let us consider an alternative, where all beings and kingdoms have value, not in what they can offer us or how they can serve us, but just as they are. I'm exploring: Approaching change with grace, sitting with discomfort, and searching for worth The opportunity that travel offers us to pause and experience cultural exchanges If humans are born to seek community, if community means connection The struggle to resist the human-centric mindset What islands can teach us about our environment and ourselves Experiencing loss in order to assign value A grounding meditation offered to help you connect to your island wherever you are. Nature has inspired every detail that surrounds us. Connect with it. Give gratitude for it. Recognize your interdependence with it.
