What makes us different, what times us together and with effort, can we learn to live harmoniously? Perhaps the first task is finding the middle ground, here is to holding space towards that endeavor.

A conversation about advocacy, PTSD, the criminal justice system and the loss of a child. The depths we go in this episode is definitely worth a listen if you or anyone you know has struggled in these topics. We continue to strive in the pursuit of connection and the cultivation of relationships.

What is the meaning of life and where might we find it.? Perhaps asking questions and telling stories that lead us down a thought experiment is a good start, or, maybe it's in the random interaction in-between speculation that show us life's true nature. Where ever it takes us, I am always grateful to those willing to dive in with me and explore the potentials and possibilities all while really getting to know one another. If life is anything, it may be just that. What do you think?

Great conversations have to start somewhere and as I have come to find, some of the best insights and topic starters come before the episode even begins. Luckily, I've learned a few lessons that have helped me capture moments like these. This is not the full episode, and actually not even part of the episode itself. This was just the beginnings of something quite remarkable... The human connection.

When we are confronted with conflict in what would seem like every aspect of our lives, one must consider the human element in all of it. The politics create our division and yet when we are able to find empathy in anothers struggle, we see the differences fade and the connective tissues bared before us. We are Humanity and it is our duty to make peace within, so that we may share that peace with the rest of the world. Here is to doing my part in that endeavor.
