August 08, 2025 Oliver Plunkett
Someone suggested I do a podcast about Oliver Plunkett. And to be honest I found a lot out by doing it. In this podcast I tried to use John the Baptist as a template. John is the guy who comes before Jesus, ,appears in the wilderness and is called the forerunner in the Orthodox tradition. I recorded this a few weeks ago so it's not synched with current feast day. I'm trying to get around to making an episode on the Transfiguration soon. Maybe next weeks episode. Anyway here is Oliver for today; I hope you enjoy.

August 02, 2025 Dzogchen Beara -
It's like Skellig in a way. It's a rugged cliff on the edge of the Atlantic, and a great refuge of serenity and peace. Join me now as I look out on the Atlantic and ask myself the question, what is the meaning of a Retreat. You can notice by my voice that I was slightly under the influence of a cold, but even that didn't interfere with the powerful effect of just being there..

August 02, 2025 In the Hush of this Prayer Room
I'm just back from Dzogen Beara, the Tibetan Buddhist Centre in west Cork. An oasis of serenity in this mad world. So let me begin with a prayer. And then in an hour or so I'll be dropping the weekly podcast. But this is a shared prayer. Join me. Maybe it's a new idea we could develop.

July 25, 2025 When you were possessed by God
Amazing to think that long ago in your childhood moments of joy and bliss that you were in fact not alone but that God was rattling your bones with ecstasy of his presence. Amazing to think that such moments are still available in memory, as portals into the timeless love of God.

July 18, 2025 Lonesome Me
This week I talk about a lonesome mood that mantles our old age. And how we cross the bridge of tears alone at the end of life. It's a sombre meditation. But fuelled by the sense of love that exists in old age. Listen in quietude and find in the dark clouds the flickering of light.

So.....sharing three meditations in this episode. Two of them focus on love between elderly couples. The final one is about the lonesome path towards death. That final one is a solitary journey no matter how much we are loved. It's a bridge we cross alone, leaving loved ones behind. But maybe that final bridge is a journey into something beautiful, a relationship of so much love that we can't comprehend it on this side of the bridge.

July 11, 2025 My Garden on a sunny morning in July
You know it was so lovely this morning at 7am that I sat down to do the podcast with the intention of just talking about the Garden outside my window. But of course like always I ended up talking about how the invisible is made visible, and how the Garden is a love story.
I hope you enjoy. And if you're listening to this for free, you are welcome, but please consider going to Patreon.com/micahelharding and subscribing; it will help me keep the podcast going. Thank you.

July 04, 2025 Forgiveness
Such a radical idea! Yes. And in every religious tradition it comes up as the swift path to enlightenment. Let's have a look at it.

June 27, 2025 In the Shadow of your Room
So I got some really good feedback on the past three weeks so I thought I'd continue on the same subject for another week or so. Here I'm taking about two great dudes from the time of the early church. A guy called Origin, and a guy called John Chrysostom. What these early theologians say about things like the Trinity is a key to getting inside the Christian path of faith and a lot of people don't really discover them. So here is some of my humble take on all that; just remember I'm no scholar. I'm just trying to express faith as I experience it. And at the end of the day, I offer you the riches of the religious path not because of some substantial truth that I have the keys to, but simply because in my experience it's a great psychotherapy, and a super good pathway for a healthy mind. If you come up against some difficult ideas, just don't give up or stumble. Listen slowly and savour the idea and it will sink into your heart. Be well.
