Constant change can feel uniquely hard. Do, say, beloved friends come and go? Or do we lose work or living situations that once were great? The mystics tell us that this is right at the core of reality--and that it's not all bad, particularly as we learn the key skill of living in the present moment as all that change swirls around us. Join Dave Schmelzer as he brings insight from the Old and New Testaments and great thinkers like Blaise Pascal and Thich Nhat Hanh (and, in a left field move, the actor Alan Arkin). So, yes, maybe everything is changing in your life... but maybe that's actually working on your behalf.
Mentioned on this podcast:
Alan Arkin's audiobook Out of My Mind
Blaise Pascal's Pensées
The book of Jeremiah
2 Corinthians 6:2
Thich Nhat Hanh's Essential Writings
