"One of the hallmarks of maturity is to let some of what seemed like your best hopes go, especially if the tide of life is actually taking them from you and turning your face in another direction."  -David Whyte, What to Remember When Waking, The Disciplines of Everyday Life

In this episode, I explore:

• When hopes can be helpful and when they can get in the way
• Why following your heart might not be enough sometimes
• How to identify actual flow 
• Learning to recognize the tides of life, the seasons that are ours to live
• The hopes and dreams of the ego vs. the wild will and dream of the soul
• What is the will of the soul? 
• The alchemy that prepares us to partner with the unknown and the will of the soul

With love and gratitude for listening,

McCall
