We sort of know we need to find enough, but it’s elusive and our quest for it can often lead to guilt and shame instead of peace. The question of “enough” creeps into every corner of life, so let’s talk about it!

RIDDLE:

What does one love more than life,

Fear more than death or mortal strife?

What do the poor have, the rich require,

and all contented souls desire?

What does the miser spend, and the spendthrift save,

And all people carry to the grave?

Easter has come after a year of being weighed down and sealed up by some pretty heavy stuff. In this special episode Greg Meyer helps us get out from behind the boulder Sisyphus eternally pushed up the mountain in the ancient Greek myth. And also from behind the stone that sealed Jesus' life off from us. Maybe life without those stones is what you want. EPISODE PAGE

Soul. Space. Can you feel it? Room enough for that deep, true YOU?  As Easter comes around again, the stories of Jesus can help us wonder about what it looks like to create that expansive room for everyone!

You can’t find Living Room on your own. Neither can anyone else. Welcoming all parts of ourselves and making room for other people is an important challenge to meet!

Face it.  We basically always have access to ideas, products, videos, people...and everyone has access to you! There’s a sense that we’re always on. We need Living Room.

It’s tragically ironic that the Judaeo-Christian wisdom of how to be part of our planet was twisted in a way that encourages us to be apart from the natural world.  Still the generosity of that world is inviting us to find our place once again.

We’ve tragically lost habitat and biodiversity on our planet as we’ve gained population, lifestyle expectation, and lifespan. Much as we may want to deny it, their loss is ours. This is “our place” all of ours, after all. 

“Our place,” (this planet) has been offering warnings for some time. Today it's simply an ultimatum. Collectively meet the challenge, be the solution and thrive!

EPISODE PAGE 

Earth. This planet is “our place” and it’s time to find our place in it; not exploiting it, but caring for it.  We are inescapably connected to it and dependent on it.
