Episode 355: Living in the Gap - the most insightful conversation on how I work
Living in the Gap - the most insightful conversation on how I work A very deep conversation with Oonagh Browne who constantly translates the gap to me. I think it's part of her life purpose here for me and others like me. An Edmund Hillary Fellow (EHF). A being I am so grateful for! A being who translates how I don't have the same in-body experience - how I'm plugged in but almost manifest experiences to be able to channel being human here - to see it through other people's human experience. The conditions they impose. I often manifest these situations to be able to get words onto the page. It's not always easy but then nothing worth creating ever is. ... having people value me for who I truly make it possible for me to continue. Makes the dreams of my inner and outer worlds possibly match someday... Oonagh's website - https://www.thecacaoambassador.comAlso the longest podcast I have ever recorded! And I wanted a sign to put this out - it rained feathers outside my windows this morning- I have never seen anything like it .... there must be 30 feathers on the ground outside my door now.

Episode 352: Conditioning I feel around St. Brigid's Day
I want us to integrate our inclusive ways ... those parts of ourselves we have been battling to represent... to have heard To quote Mary Robison's inauguration Speach which was read out to me on the Hill of Uisneach yesterday https://uisneach.ie "The recent revival of an old concept of the Fifth Province expresses this emerging Ireland of tolerance and empathy. The old Irish term for province is coicead, meaning a “fifth”; and yet, as everyone knows, there are only four geographical provinces on this island. So where is the fifth? The Fifth Province is not anywhere here or there, north or south, east or west. It is a place within each one of us — that place that is open to the other, that swinging door which allows us to venture out and others to venture in. Ancient legends divided Ireland into four quarters and a “middle,” although they differed about the location of this middle or Fifth Province. While Tara was the political centre of Ireland, tradition has it that this Fifth Province acted as a second centre, a necessary balance. If I am a symbol of anything I would like to be a symbol of this reconciling and healing Fifth Province" Full text:https://awpc.cattcenter.iastate.edu/2017/03/09/inaugural-address-dec-3-1990/https://president.ie/en/media-library/speeches/address-by-the-president-mary-robinson-on-the-occasion-of-her-inauguration
