Common Thread
I am an artist and I created the podcast Common Thread in the spirit of: if I see something, say something. What I see is everyday people with solutions to social injustice, economic inequality, and climate change. The key is hidden in answers to four personal questions: What is most important to me? Why is it vital I respond? What have been the challenges when I put this purpose first? What wisdom do I have to share from my experiences? The podcasts are conversations with family, friends, and neighbors who will answer the questions. The sum of answers reveals a missing humanizing value system and unifying wisdom of the heart. Love has no objective other than to create wholeness, build trust, cultivate empathy, and see unity in diversity. These are a few examples of how different people express love. My guests will describe how they combine two, traditionally opposing bottom lines. One is physically surviving while the other is following the common thread of love with its unifying purpose. The practical and spiritual focuses are not exclusive of the other when both are needed to heal and stabilize a deeply divided world. Come join the conversation!
