117 - There Must Be More: A Conversation with Poet with Joel McKerrow
Show Notes

A fish in a bowl doesn't know that it is wet. Surrounded always by its watery environment, it knows no other reality. 

We, too, suffer the same. Inescapably we are all shaped by the waters we swim within. Whether we realize it or not, we all inherited a religion, a framework for existence, a container that shapes our world.

Yet, inevitably, there comes a time when the fishbowl cracks, when the safety we knew can no longer contain us when our world crumbles, and the questions arrive. 

Today’s guest, Joel McKerrow, addresses this very topic in his new book, Woven. Joel shares a bit of his story with us and the inspiration for this book with us in this episode. 

Joel shares that this “crumbling” is not something to be feared,  but that it may actually be a door beginning to open. A necessary movement in our spiritual and life journey. It is the whisper inside, 'There must be more than this.'
