A lot of what has to do with feeding this good wolf has to do with the natural world. Quotes like garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you think ring true.
Imagine growing up surrounded by the tranquility of a farm, where the natural world becomes a silent teacher. This is the backdrop for Tony Dekker, the founding member and lead singer of Great Lake Swimmers. In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer chats with Tony about how nature and music intertwine to nurture our better selves. Tony reflects on his childhood on the farm and how it instilled in him a profound respect for nature.
This respect permeates his music, influencing his songwriting and the unique sonic qualities he captures by recording in various locations. It's not just about the notes and lyrics; it's about the environment that breathes life into his songs. But Tony's story doesn't stop at music. He shares his experiences with the Students on Ice program, an initiative that takes students on educational expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic.
These journeys are more than just trips; they're transformative experiences that foster a deep connection to the planet. Throughout the conversation, Tony and Eric explore themes of curiosity, connection, and the beauty found in the natural world. They discuss the importance of contemplating our own mortality and how it can feed our good wolf, urging us to live more fully and mindfully.
If you're someone who finds solace in nature or believes in the healing power of music, this episode is a melodic journey you won't want to miss. Tune in to discover how Tony Dekker harmonizes his love for nature with his musical talents, creating a symphony that feeds the soul.
