This week I turn 42 and have much to share about summery celebrations and wintery vast planes of the soul. The paradox or Yin and Yang come forward in this conversation, as does the wisdom of “surrendering to motion”, “giving one’s body over to the doing”, “relaxing into discipline”, and “moving toward that which you love even/especially when it’s suffering.” Joanna Macy, Rainer Maria Rilke, Dr Rick Hanson, and Bernice Johnson Reagon all feature in today’s episode, along with some discussion of the Emperor reversed and the Seven of Wands.
