This episode is a spoken version of my essay Between Presence and Planning. It explores the moment in Marco Polo when the Empress and the Khan clash over fear, foresight, and the gift of staying rooted in the present.

The reflection looks at the part of us that wants to breathe and the part of us that wants to prepare. It touches on the tension between resting in what is good right now and being steady enough to meet what comes. These two inner voices live inside every one of us. Somewhere between them is the art of living with clarity and peace.

Thank you for listening.

This episode is a spoken version of my essay The Sound of Belonging. I recorded it after a week at the Flute Harvest retreat in Encino, California.

The piece reflects on music, breath, community, and the quiet ways we find our way back to ourselves. It is a story about listening, being seen, and letting my voice come forward with honesty.

Thank you for listening.
