Episode Details

Faith is an old-fashioned word. Maybe its most well-known meaning is religious. But true faith predates religion. Ancient humans had faith in the earth, the animals, the stars. 

 I don’t know much about that kind of faith, but I do know one thing: that I have faith in my own heart and mind, and in yours. I have faith in our ability to love, and to care, and to see, moment by moment, that we’re all just here for a moment, and that we’re all in this together – whatever is happening, and there’s a lot. And I guess I know one more thing: the power of that kind of faith to inspire – quietly, stealthily – and to move friends and family onto more stable, peaceful, ground.  

So this Saturday, this Fourth of July – and I’d say especially this one – here’s an invitation: bring your love. Bring your wisdom. Bring your barbeque, too, but bring your love and wisdom. Inspire your community, just by your presence. 

Happy Fourth!
