Our story tonight is called The Curios Shop and it’s the first in our two-part Halloween special this year. It’s a story about a little shop in downtown Nothing Much, that takes the right set of circumstances to be found. It’s also about creaky wood floors, an old book covered in velvet, and a small grey cat with yellow eyes.

In this interview, Melli talks to Jack about how to integrate spiritual life with everyday life and what it means to be ‘on the path’ of mindfulness.

Integrating ‘Spiritual’ Life with Daily Life 

Our story tonight is called Return to the Chalet, Part 2, and it’s picking up where Part 1 ended, at a little cabin at the foot of a snow-covered slope. It’s also about waking without an alarm and coffee by the fire, saunas and hot stones, soft hoodies, and not having to decide anything, quiet exchanges, and the achievement of letting yourself receive care without argument. We donate to a different charity each week, and this week we are supporting The Canadian Children’s Book Centre. They work to help Canadian parents, librarians, educators, and caregivers foster a lifelong love of reading in children and teens.

Walking Meditation Instructions (from retreat)

Can you be relaxed in a chaotic world? Kelly shares two science-based insights.

How Can I Relax When the World Feels So Chaotic?

In this episode, we discuss a poem by Li-Young Lee. In the episode, I make a mistake by saying the poem is titled "So, we're dust" when in fact it's titled "To Hold":

So we’re dust. In the meantime, my wife and I make the bed. Holding opposite edges of the sheet, we raise it, billowing, then pull it tight, measuring by eye as it falls into alignment between us. We tug, fold, tuck. And if I’m lucky, she’ll remember a recent dream and tell me.

One day we’ll lie down and not get up. One day, all we guard will be surrendered.

Until then, we’ll go on learning to recognize what we love, and what it takes to tend what isn’t for our having. So often, fear has led me to abandon what I know I must relinquish in time. But for the moment, I’ll listen to her dream, and she to mine, our mutual hearing calling more and more detail into the light of a joint and fragile keeping.

What If We're Dust?
