Episode notes
Bitter sweetness is the last night at the end of a great holiday, when you've had an amazing time, but you also know it's the end. The book for me was really a five year quest to grasp the power of this way of being in the world. If you look at or wisdom traditions, or literary and artistic heritages from all over the world,. across centuries, ou now, you find that there is a sense t that this bitter sweet impulse, this almost melancholic impulse, is attached in a profound way to creivity, to human connection and even to transcendence.
