<p>You’ve heard something like this before—without death, we could never know the preciousness of life. When a loved one falls ill, suddenly our relationship with them is imbued with an entirely new quality. But what happens when the loved one who falls ill isn’t human? What if it’s a lake whose life we mourn? In this season finale, Thomas shares about a close friend of his who initiated him in death, and Great Salt Lake, who is now in dangerous decline. He invites us all to reconsider what personhood is, and what it might mean to open our hearts to the lands that sustain us.</p> <p>If you feel fed by the show, please support Mindfulness+ by sharing with a friend, leaving a review or making a tax-deductible <a href="https://lowerlightswisdom.org/donate">donation</a> to Lower Lights School of Wisdom.

<p>Confusion gets a bad rap. When we feel clear, when we know who we are and where our life is headed, we often suppose that this is a desirable way to be. On the other hand, when we feel confused, it’s as if we can’t quite relax. There’s a queasiness in our body that we long to get rid of. But what if clarity and confusion are just two facets of a single gem? What if we need confusion to truly be clear, and clarity to unlock the power of “divine confusion?” Have a listen to this episode and see if your relationship to confusion doesn’t start to shift straight away. </p> <p>If you feel fed by the show, please support Mindfulness+ by sharing with a friend, leaving a review or making a tax-deductible <a href= "https://lowerlightswisdom.org/donate">donation</a> to Lower Lights School of Wisdom.

<p>A colleague of mine recently asked me, “How do we be love?” As soon as he asked, I felt any intellectual response buckle under the weight of his question. There were no words. But I walked around with the question, and let it in deep. The following meditation arose out of that inquiry, which I’m honored to share with you here.</p> <p>Love and Blessings on your day. -Thomas </p> <p>If you feel fed by the show, please support Mindfulness+ by sharing with a friend, leaving a review or making a tax-deductible <a href="https://lowerlightswisdom.org/donate">donation</a> to Lower Lights School of Wisdom.
