285. Living Authentically: Embracing Our Present Selves

Send us a text

Imagine the delicate balance between life and death, embodied in the metaphors of stardust and clay. In this segment, we dive into the complexities of personal grief—from the struggle of being unable to have children to the intricate emotions tied to familial loss. Lore Ferguson Wilbert, author of "The Understory," emphasizes the importance of living in the present, urging us to embrace who we are now rather than who we once were or who we might become. Through the lens of spiritual formation, we delve into the discipline of accepting our current reality with all its joy, pain, and beauty, much like the wildflower seeds that bloom into a sea of poppies, symbolizing renewal and hope. Close with us in a moment of gratitude, embracing the wisdom of Lore Ferguson Wilbert and the call to be our magnificent selves.
