Spring’s almost here, and in this episode I reflect on what the season can actually teach us if we slow down enough to pay attention. This is a shorter, more reflective episode in the travel arc of the channel. Drawing from Japanese philosophy and Asal Fallahnejad’s work on the Spring Equinox, we explore ideas like Mono no Aware which is the bittersweet awareness that beauty doesn’t last, and Oubaitori, the reminder that we all bloom in our own time.

In today's mini-pod, I don't dive into any heady philosophy but just share my own personal deconstruction journey from teenage pharisee into an heretical hippie. Hopefully you find it enlightening and that it also helps inspire and guide any of those wandering around in the void of nihilism :)
