The Changes that Come

Send us a text (www.buzzsprout...)
There seems to be an awful of change happening recently, often unasked and with far-reaching consequences. Knowing how to deal with it can be difficult and lead us to feeling unbalanced and overwhelmed. Tonight, we try to find some still-points within the chaos.
Journal entry:
23rd January, Thursday
“A robin, one winter,
Riding out a sleety squall
On the flailing branch
Of pyracantha fire.
He often springs to mind
When squalls hit
And my world lurches
Fearfully beneath me.
I wish for his poise
And his ability to find
And surf upon the
Still-point of chaos.”
Episode Information:
In this episode, I talk about Orange Cookie’s beautiful ‘Still Waters and Nighttime Bats’ tea towel that is inspired by this podcast. You can view this and her other designs at Spoonflower (www.spoonflowe...) .
I also read a very short extract from The Monk and the Butterfly by Kai T. Murano (published independently, 2024).
With special thanks to our lock-wheelers (www.buzzsprout...) for supporting this podcast.
