1026: The Joy of Life

Send us a text

I take great pride in planning birthday gatherings, in many ways, not just to commemorate another year of life, but to celebrate the people who currently hold space in my life, it’s always interesting to see how the personnel shifts in some ways and remains constant in others. Some months back I first told a couple of the friends you’ll hear on this episode about this Japanese term that I loved, Ichigo Ichie, often translated as "for this time only, never again," the idea of cherishing the uniqueness of each gathering because even if the same cast is reassembled, the moment will always be different; I touch on this at some point in this episode also and hearing it back makes me really appreciate this notion even more. I hope the day finds you and keeps you well. Hope you enjoy. Talk soon.
