Do you know the difference in loneliness and being alone?  Do you ever feel “that lonely feeling?”  In this episode of the Wilderness podcast, we talk about all things lonely.  How did we get so lonely and what can we do to remedy the overwhelming loneliness that exists in our world and in our lives?  As we discuss the third chapter of Braving the Wilderness, we think about the many factions we have sorted ourselves into.  We explore why it is that we are more likely to double-down on group identity and party lines than we are to acknowledge complexity and converse with nuance.  And, we reckon with the reality that if we want to be wilderness bravers, we have to get outside of our sorted factions and move into the chaos.
