    • Spring Azures, The Soot and Sill, and A New Narrative.
      Jun 6 2024

      Send us a text

      In spring the blue azures bow down
      at the edges of shallow puddles
      to drink the black rain water.
      Then they rise and float away into the fields.

      Sometimes the great bones of my life feel so heavy,
      and all the tricks my body knows―
      the opposable thumbs, the kneecaps,
      and the mind clicking and clicking—

      don’t seem enough to carry me through this world
      and I think: how I would like

      to have wings—
      blue ones—
      ribbons of flame.

      How I would like to open them, and rise
      from the black rain water.

      And then I think of Blake, in the dirt and sweat of London—a boy
      staring through the window, when God came
      fluttering up.

      Of course, he screamed,
      and seeing the bobbin of God’s blue body
      leaning on the sill,
      and the thousand-faceted eyes.

      Well, who knows.
      Who knows what hung, fluttering, at the window
      between him and the darkness.

      Anyway, Blake the hosier’s son stood up
      and turned away from the sooty sill and the dark city—
      turned away forever
      from the factories, the personal strivings,

      to a life of the the imagination.

      -
      Mary Oliver

    • Don Quixote-ing, Reverence for the Flaws, the Spark of Lifelong Learning, and Innovation
      May 30 2024

      Send us a text

      In this episode, we delve into a thought-provoking conversation, embracing the concept of 'Don Quixote-ing' against conventional currents, finding the sacred in the mundane, and the importance of nurturing 'time release capsules' of inspiration. They challenge the notion of success, urging us to consider the 'claustrophobia of standardized paths' and to recognize the beauty of our 'crooked lines' and 'eccentricities.' You are invited to confront the societal 'dusty corners' that often go unnoticed, encouraging a shift towards a culture that values genuine curiosity and the persistence to explore what truly moves us. This episode is not just a call to action but a reminder to cherish the quirks that make us unique, to 'surrender to what wants to use us,' and to foster environments where asking, 'What are you interested in?' ignites the spark of lifelong learning and innovation.
