Meanderings with Trudy

MwT: The PauseCast with Angie Arendt, On Reverence

Episode Summary

Welcome to MwT: The PauseCast with Angie Arendt! We’re continuing to dig into and explore the ingredients of joy. We’ll follow the model of the Lebanese-American poet Khalil Gibran in his famed poem “The Prophet” and explore more on the topic… On Change… On Worry… On Relationship… On Getting older…. And how these contribute to our experience of joy.

Episode Notes

Today, we meander On Reverence. We landed in this space unexpectedly in our previous PauseCast, when we explored On Worry, and Angie talked about how worry is a human response that takes us away from reverence. And reverence, well, last week Angie told us that “…reverence is a recognition of awe and wonder for all of life…” This week, she built on that saying that “…reverence is to see life as a gift… It is a mindset.” At its most basic, I think its a way of being open to the rawness of the world – beauty and hardship – and it is supported/made possible by all kinds of things… grace, pause, light, hope, peace, joy and love, among others... which is what Angie and I talk about today. 

I hope you’ll enjoy this episode. Please, share our work widely, give us a review to tease the algorithms. If you have comments or questions, please send them to meanderingswithtrudy@gmail.com.
