About this episode

Mary discusses how to engage with the world lightly and with equanimity, inspired by St. Francis of Assisi's teachings.

St. Francis of Assisi invited us to wear the world as a loose garment and in this talk, Mary discusses how this is an invitation to equanimity. How do we turn towards the world without rigidity, yet with a willingness to stay present and meet life where it is?
