The Other Everything
"The Other Everything" is the podcast version of the journey that nudges us to dream and reminds us that life is more than what our senses can only suggest: there is more to life than what we see, hear, taste, touch and smell!Through a sonic excursion of predictable and unpredictable narrative via "spoken word", prose and song, we travel through the daily and not-so-daily places of culture, thought, emotion and imagination to find what is true and real and impossibly possible. "The Other Everything" podcast is one part of a growing project of the same name. Beginning with a book, found on Amazon, and music at Apple and Spotify (look for albums by Dave Petty). Visit our website: www.theothereverything.com. You will find our growing treasure trove of other writings, sounds, images and links connecting you to the work of creatives and "creativity connoisseurs" like you!

It's not that I believe that there is nothing there. I've grown up and out of that. I've learned to know better. And it's not that I'm afraid of what lies beneath, or behind, or beyond.
No. That's not it. It's just that I've been taught by someone who's been to death and back, someone I implicitly and reasonably trust to address this sort of thing in a different way entirely. He sees dead people. And he is not afraid. (Unlike many priests in so many movies like the Exorcist seem to be.) He recognizes a reality beyond our senses and says, literally says:
“Do not be afraid."
