In this episode, I finally got my youngest daughter to be a guest on my show. We discuss the concept of being “talentless”. The backdrop is a worldwide pandemic and sequestration of ourselves, a moment to have the time and space to “Be” with our humanity. I debate with Ana the very meaning of life and we debate the question, “Can you build a life based on fun?”. The concept of “being” leads to “doing” and “having” is a concept I have been playing with in my own life for the past 10 years. I love the idea of using my life as an experiment in creation. Waking to watch the sunrise in the Gulf of Mexico on a paddleboard, surfing in a storm, questioning the existence of God, and trusting yourself to open the right door takes insight courage and grit these are qualities in Ana. I hope one day she listens to her younger self with a little more tenderness… What does Tenderness look like? IT is the Ocean The ocean is never ending and salty The ocean is strong and fierce but holds all life IT holds human LIFE, animal LIFE Small microbes to the largest BEINGS on the planet Tenderness smells like flowers and fresh rain Tenderness smells like eucalyptus and sunshine IT is the strong hold of your hand Which will only let go when you ask IT to Tenderness sees all moments as perfect Tenderness realizes there is nothing to forgive IT makes me smile What does Tenderness look like?
