About this episode
The episode explores how various elements like meditation and craft contribute to a more grounded life.
Two brothers chase one thread through many lanes: how meditation, language, craft, and city trees point to a more grounded life. We end with a simple tool for singing and everything else: ask how to enjoy it 10 percent more, and let the body lead. • Nonduality and the Zen of simple attention • Craft as presence through pottery and baskets • Work and leadership as spiritual practice • Self‑reliance, emotional fluidity, and team trust • Reframing sin, repent, and mercy • The Sopranos as a lens...
