There seems to be an awful of change happening recently, often unasked and with far-reaching consequences. Knowing how to deal with it can be difficult and lead us to feeling unbalanced and overwhelmed. Tonight, we try to find some still-points within the chaos.  

Journal entry:

23rd January, Thursday

“A robin, one winter,
 Riding out a sleety squall
 On the flailing branch
 Of pyracantha fire.

He often springs to mind
 When squalls hit
 And my world lurches
 Fearfully beneath me.

I wish for his poise
 And his ability to find
 And surf upon the
 Still-point of chaos.”

Episode Information:

In this episode, I talk about Orange Cookie’s beautiful ‘Still Waters and Nighttime Bats’ tea towel that is inspired by this podcast. You can view this and her other designs at Spoonflower. 

I also read a very short extract from The Monk and the Butterfly by Kai T. Murano (published independently, 2024).
