The terrible knowledge is that we can be erased in a second... This podcast is about how other people keep themselves moving in the right direction, how they feed their good wolf.
What happens when life throws you a curveball? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Mark Nepo, a poet, philosopher, and cancer survivor who has spent four decades exploring the intersections of poetry, health, and spirituality. Nepo, a New York Times #1 bestselling author, shares his profound insights on enduring suffering and moving towards wholeness. Throughout the conversation, Nepo reflects on the mysteries of life and the importance of staying present.
He emphasizes that our need to control life often intensifies personal suffering. Instead, he advocates for holding space for ourselves and others, allowing us to be more in tune with the present moment. Nepo's latest book, 'Inside the Miracle: Enduring Suffering, Approaching Wholeness', is a collection of writings from different periods in his life, including his battle with cancer in the late '80s. He discusses how these experiences have shaped his understanding of life and the paradoxes we face.
Nepo explains that only the heart can truly synthesize our experiences, urging listeners to resist the urge to inflate or deflate themselves. This episode dives deep into themes like the Two Wolves Parable, the spiritual journey, and the delicate balance between ambition and being present. Nepo's wisdom offers a comforting perspective on how to navigate life's challenges with grace and humility.
Whether you're dealing with personal struggles or seeking a deeper understanding of life's mysteries, this episode provides valuable insights that can help you find wholeness amid chaos.
