What Really Matters: Everyday Spirituality

Ep. 130 How Transformation Can Follow Tragedy

Listen Later

In this episode I discuss the history of a devastating earthquake in Lisbon in 1755 that I learned about on my recent trip to Portugal. The outcome of this tragedy reminded me that even the horrific wars that are taking place right now contain a tiny seed of hope for transformation. This episode includes:

  • The devastation caused by the triple disaster in Lisbon in 1755
  • How the entire world was affected by this disaster
  • How the Age of Enlightenment was hastened by this event
  • Why we need to carry all the pain of the world right now and still continue to spread love
