January 02, 2019 DMF 30: A short hello wishing you a happy 2019!
After getting up to the mountain today I found myself unable to collect my thoughts due to some external circumstances. Rather than fumble my way through a full episode in which I wouldn't be able to be fully present, I decided to keep it short and simple.

November 28, 2018 DMF 26: Gratitude, Privilege, and Ownership
Coming out of his conversations with Jason and sharing the Thanksgiving holiday with his family, Michael reflects on some important ideas about a couple of the modes of moving through the world available to us, that we might not always examine so closely because they are so ingrained in our cultural norms: true gratitude (and how it relates to privilege) and ownership--or the lack thereof.

November 14, 2018 DMF 24: A conversation with Jason Young
Jason Young, author of Maturation and Transformation Through Vision Fasting (an abbreviated title for this description), shares with us what he's learned about how worldviews shape worlds, and how we can use that knowledge to, each in our own small ways, restore our relationship to the world--both as individuals, as a culture, and perhaps even as a species.
Michael struggles a bit with understanding these concepts :)

November 07, 2018 DMF 23: Closing thoughts on letting go, play, and growing up
It's been a few weeks since I've visited the mountain to record, so today I made time to drive up there and reflect on the last few episodes.
I weave the threads of conversation from DMFs 19-22 together, reflecting on how these conversations have fed me over the last month.
I wonder if as we grow up we don't change as much as we expand to encompass all that we were as well as all that we are becoming. I hope that just as the child I once was is still in me (and helps me remember how to play and how to let go), so too the child that you once were is still in you.
Thank you for listening. I believe that you are special and that the lessons your life has taught you are unique and valuable.
