Description
"We must unlearn the constellations to see the stars. "-- Jack Gilbert from "Tear it Down"
This episode revolves around a Hindu story, "The King and the Corpse," about a king who spends a long night with a talking corpse and realizes a profound truth.
This is one of my favorite stories, rich in metaphor, humor, riddles, and insight. I don't want to spoil it for you so I'll simply say that I've worked with this story several times and always find something useful, and I was compelled to share it with you when it began to haunt my consciousness once again.
I think you'll see why after you've heard it.
