The extraordinary ordinariness of things
Episode 11
Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
We spend so much of our lives waiting for something extraordinary to happen—for love, awakening, purpose, or simply the feeling that this is it.
Meanwhile, life keeps arriving in remarkably ordinary forms: a conversation, a difficult moment, light through a window, a cup, a spoon.
What if the extraordinary isn't somewhere else? What if we simply keep overlooking it because it doesn't look the way we imagined?
In this episode of The Empty Cup, we explore what happens when we stop asking reality to be different—and begin to notice the quiet wonder of what is already here.
