In today's brief episode I share some thoughts about how my travels through Italy revealed to me that grief is a powerful source of creativity if we face it directly. This episode highlights the poetry of Andrea Gibson, whose journey through cancer sparked luminous creativity in the midst of grief. This episode includes:

• How grief breaks us open to allow creativity to emerge
• Grief becomes fertile ground for creative ideas to flourish
• How grief can become a medicine, as described in Andrea Gibson's poetry
• Grief as a transformational fire that burns away what doesn't matter
• How grief ultimately connects us will all humanity and creativity can create a ripple effect of hope and innovation
