Finding Hope: A Teaching, a Song, and a Poem
Wherever we are, there is a positive direction forward. It may not be a giant leap forward, it may still feel really dark, you may still feel really stuck. But I do believe that wherever we are, there is a positive direction, there is a good move forward, even if that move is only in the way we look at the world, the way we think about the world, the way we interpret the world.
Ever feel like you're stuck in a rut with no way out? This episode of 'The One You Feed' offers a refreshing dose of inspiration to help you find your way. Host Eric Zimmer presents a mini-episode that combines a teaching, a song, and a poem, each carefully chosen to spark positive change and new beginnings. Starting with the familiar parable of the two wolves, Zimmer reminds us that the wolf we choose to nurture is the one that thrives.
He then dives into Philip Larkin's evocative poem 'The Trees,' celebrating the idea that it's never too late to start anew. With thoughtful reflections and practical advice, Zimmer encourages listeners to embrace small steps forward, even when the path seems unclear. To cap it off, he shares the uplifting song 'Tomorrow' by James, which echoes the theme of keeping faith in the possibility of change.
Whether you're feeling stuck or just need a bit of encouragement, this episode serves as a gentle nudge towards hope and growth.
