About this listen

Welcome to the Everyday Human podcast.


My name is Eastin DeVerna. Each day, I'll share a reflection written by me and inspired by literature, poetry, music, movies, video games, and more. And after that, I'll share a prompt for you to write your own reflection.


Together, we'll explore what it means to be human. Every month we'll walk a new path, taking a look at life, death, the universe, and everything in between.


Thanks for coming along.

    January: On Existence

    January 13

    Today's reflection was inspired by a quote from Pooh's Little Instruction Book written by Joan Powers and illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard.

    There is no end to the stream of information available to us--and sometimes it feels like it's being shoved down our throats. We're told what to buy, how to think, how to react, and there's a pressure on us to "stay connected" at all times.

    But it's not sustainable, nor is it healthy.

    In today's episode we explore what it means to consciously slow down and reflect on our lives and actions while practicing the art of not bothering.

    • Reflection title: Don't Bother Bothering
    • Creative inspiration: Joan Powers and Ernest H. Shepard, Pooh's Little Instruction Book.
    • Reflection Question: What will I actively tune out and not bother with today?

    January: On Existence

    January 12

    Today's reflection was inspired by a quote from Virginia Woolf's The Waves.

    Humans are complex creatures, so why do we get lost in singular identities based off of jobs or roles that we assume at certain points in our lives?

    There are so many facets of our existence, so many ways we spend our time.

    In today's episode we explore what it means to embrace our complexity and flow like a leaf on the stream.

    • Reflection title: Be the Leaf on the Stream
    • Creative inspiration: Virginia Woolf, The Waves
    • Reflection Question: What have I always assumed my identity to be? Who am I really?

    January: On Existence

    January 11

    Today we reflect on a quote from Jacqueline Woodson's Brown Girl Dreaming.

    Are memories all that we are? What happens to us if our memories fade and disappear?

    Memories can be beautiful, ugly, or simply shades of the past we carry with us, but how can we be sure to live in the moment, appreciating it for all of its beauty and complexity before it too becomes a memory?

    • Creative inspiration: Jacqueline Woodson, Brown Girl Dreaming
    • Reflection Question: How will I appreciate the moments I have before they become memories?
