In this episode, Tal joins us for an inquiry into spirituality as a journey with many intersections. At times confusing, and at other times, peaceful, but at all times, powerful. They share vulnerably with insightfulness and sincerity. And, we are even treated to a special live version of one of the first songs they ever wrote! Here are some of our favorite quotes, "My body is a vessel for my soul and my soul transcends my body," "My queerness feels very expansive," and "There is no wrong way of being." They discuss how all of their identities are both distinct and interrelated. This is a quintessentially Source Wheel conversation! Enjoy! Here are the lyrics to the song Tal sings toward the end of the episode:
Time to Start Living Again
By Tal Jin
Sometimes we forget who we are
Like a star forgets its position in the sky
We hide our souls, so they’re in places hard to find
We stumble through the trials of life and we leave our hearts behind
Don’t be scared
You’ll find your way
Harness the light, resuscitate it from the grave of the darkness
When you’re going on with life
But you really feel dead on the inside
And you call the hollow shell your body is entrapped in, your true self
It’s time to start living again
Sometimes we lose sight of all the light
We surrender to the darkness of Satan and his lies
We’re breathing and we’re sleeping, and our hearts are barely beating
Cause we’ve forgotten how to feel anything at all
Don’t be scared
You’ll find your way
Harness the light, resuscitate it from the grave of the darkness
When you’re going on with life
But you really feel dead on the inside
And you call the hollow shell your body is entrapped in, your true self
It’s time to start living again.
