[This episode originally aired on December 18, 2023] In this episode, I'd like to explore the idea of walls — our internal walls, as well as the walls we create between ourselves and others • we're told we need to have clear boundaries; at the same time, we have the challenge of how to bridge the gap between self and others • the wall between ourselves and others is not always so visible; it can take us by surprise as we try to connect in some way • there are times when we deliberately create walls: when we are developing a meditation practice, we wall off distractions and preoccupations in order to create a little island of sanity of some sort, as a form of protection for our mind • maybe the fundamental question is whether we're creating walls to protect our sanity, or whether we're creating walls to protect our confusion • walls can be about connecting, or about disconnecting • we need to explore how to make use of walls to connect with others, as opposed to shutting ourselves down and separating from others.
