THERE IS NO BYTE SIZED EPISODE THIS WEEK BECAUSE I AM MAKING YOU ALL LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE!! (because I think we should all read the study that we talk about~recently released by the Fetzer Institute~you know what a taskmaster I am, but I guarantee the study is so super groovy you'll feel bad you missed out!)
It's no secret that there's recently been a worldwide pandemic, and it was clear to me that people were suffering in so many different ways during it...loneliness, depression, the loss of loved ones, missing rites of passage (prom? high school graduation?) and for me, especially, witnessing how society became more polarized and fractured. I will never forget people fighting over toilet paper in the supermarket, and being willing to hurt another human over it. That suffering and grief hasn't gone away, and I would argue, it's only morphed into other places and spaces in our lives...and while the world has gone back to "normal" so many of us are just trying to survive the day.
We talk big grief in this world, in our own lives, how to survive, how to thrive. We talk how children can be wise little nuggets, and how our community is what is going to be what helps us, and sometimes save us. The study is truly fascinating...I urge you to click on the link below to check it out. Did people become more spiritual? More religious? Less? How did the pandemic affect our ability to find and create meaning in our world? You'll just have to read it to find out!
