The more I explore rest, slowness, and the remarkable idea that we can't hustle enough to overcome our humanity (which is to say, our mortality), the more I feel drawn to a reality underneath these invitations toward slowness: our finitude. I'm talking about our limits, our inability to live a multitude of lives in this one. We are contained here, to the careers we've chosen or that have chosen us. To the people we've loved, and the small circles of relationship we can truly invest in.  And, as much as we might wish otherwise, to the place where we live.   Every stretch outside of those finite realities will require an exchange. In this episode, I'm talking about the choices I've made and have not made, the reality of our human frailty, and our desperate need for hope. I'm also walking you through a list-writing exercise to write a poem about someone you love. Tune in for more.
