The Most Ordinary Truths (S20E4)


Listen Later

I'm recording this from another hospital corner; hopefully, hopefully the last time I need to record from here. But this episode is not about that...

It's the story of what happened in New Zealand at the end of last year, standing on a swing bridge, about to begin a short stretch of the Kepler Trail.

You'll hear:

  • The moment I turned from looking upstream to looking downstream and felt a rush of energy so intense I felt I couldn't live big enough to hold it
  • Walking through ancient forest and laying my hands on trees, finding the same thrumming energy
  • The realisation that this was the most ordinary truth, and it's what makes everything in life so special
  • How we are all part of the universal hum - and what we risk when we deny that connection
  • The answer to 'what makes you think you're so special?' Spoiler alert: Everything.

As you listen, I wonder does any of this resonate with you? The universal hum, our shared need for connection, the places you find it? I'd love to hear your thoughts and reflections - just email me if you'd love to share, or message me through the website hennyflynn.co.uk/contact

Settle in and see where the episode takes you.
