In times of plenty, build a longer table, not a higher fence.
Ever had one of those days where everything seems to go wrong, yet you find a silver lining? Luke Hand dives into such a day in this episode. Work was a mess, with mistakes piling up, but it wasn't all doom and gloom. Luke finds joy in welcoming a newcomer from Afghanistan, who's starting her first paid job in Australia. It's a moment that reminds him of the importance of extending kindness and support, especially in times of plenty.
After work, Luke takes a calming walk with his mum and Ashlea, though his eating habits leave much to be desired. Skipping dinner and not eating well throughout the day didn't help his mood or energy levels, which he rates honestly as pretty low. Yet, amidst the chaos, there's a bright spot: Ellen Arkbro's 'Sounds While Waiting' album, which he's been playing on repeat. The music offers him a soothing escape from the day's frustrations.
Luke's reflections are a mix of personal struggles and broader themes of inclusivity and support. His message is clear: when we have plenty, we should focus on building longer tables to welcome others, not higher fences to keep them out. This episode is a raw, unfiltered look into the ups and downs of daily life, seasoned with moments of gratitude and mindfulness.
Whether you're dealing with similar challenges or just looking for a relatable voice, Luke's diary entries offer both comfort and inspiration.
