Sacred Conversations are periodic episodes of my podcast in which I reach out to people whose work and life inspire me, and we simply have a soulful conversation. Prerecorded for video and available on my YouTube channel. No scripted, transactional, extractive, one-sided interview dynamic. Just two people with a care and curiosity for each other’s journey and creative work, asking each other about what stirs in us, and enjoying the ancient, mutually healing art of listening deeply. Again, not an interview. A spiritual communion. The idea is for us to relax and enjoy an organic conversation, like over tea or breaking bread, and to get to know each other along the way.

This poem addresses psychological and spiritual homelessness and their counterpart condition that I call, Homefulness.
