Clownin'
Riffin' out on the street at the bus stop. Some people are just in the flow, you know? When you're lucky enough to run into one of them, play along....

SignalmanWe had the pleasure to sit with this gentleman, Mr. Roberts, on a flight last spring. He is a WWII veteran who had been visiting old friends and, like us, was flying home.

PracticeTaken from a recorded call with Gene Gollogly, this conversation is about the kind of practice that can help cultivate a connection with the Earth and with the part we play here. As you will hear, Gene has a warm and inviting way about him. He is president and CEO of SteinerBooks, which offers an enormous number of titles covering spirituality, education, arts, nature, health, psychology, and practically everything else. (www.steinerbooks.org) What a job!

One or two?This conversation with Japa Buckner continues my wrestling match with the concept of monism--the idea that all of reality is of the same nature, rather than split up into the dual realms of matter and mind. It's easy enough to say, but it's practically wired into us to think of a "Creator" who watches over its "creation," and then I'm off track.
The person we're discussing at the beginning is Rudolf Steiner, and the book is The Philosophy of Freedom. There ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
Sounds of mildlifeIn search of auditory adventure, we stalked the exotic fauna of Lakeland, FL and captured many specimens. From the sweet trill of songbirds to the uncouth eruptions of swans, with a dog, some tractors, and another very unusual species thrown in.Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
A clearing in the forestTalking to myself again.
This time it's about an interesting 'aha!' experience I had while reading Philosophy of Freedom. It has a lot to do with the belief--or fact, I think--that acts of genuine love and sympathy are worth far more than acts of compulsion or earnest political activism.

And let us know your thoughts on the topic, "Kissin' don't last, good cookin' do!"

Another ExplanationHere's a fellow at work who is middle-aged, personable, and to all appearances unexceptional--oh, except that he has a comprehensive new mythology of our world and maybe several others in his head. It gets put on paper, sentence by sentence, day by day, at break times. You never really know what's inside people, do you?

Cuckoo for Each Other (awww...)Bjoern's Clock Repair in Bardstown, KY is a neat shop, and Bjoern is a neat guy. Here's the clock-talk part of our conversation (we also talked about Indians in Kentucky and historic reenactments, but those are for another time).
Word to the wise: Don't try to get your cuckoo clock repaired in Louisville. There just ain't a good place to get it done.

Ahh, Brave New World!We have a simply marvelous, darling, hotel and museum downtown called the 21C. On my way to visit there for the first time, I ran into a friend who gave me a preview and some tips on what to look for. To quote her late husband, "Wow, man, what a trip."

Being thereA friend's dad passed away after an illness. About all you can do is to visit and listen. As usual at these times, the conversation swings from thoughtful to absurd, then back, in a heartbeat.
At the end Mike reads a poem for his dad.

Deer Season (or not!)Here are some tales of deer hunting in a northern state. The tellers will go unnamed, but you may be able to detect from their accents that they're not from Kentucky!
I'm not a hunter, but I find the matter-of-fact lore of stalking a deer, shooting, and dressing it for food (strange term, "dressing"!) to be admirable.

A Meditation on MeditationThese are thoughts about the Lord's Prayer that came out as I sat alone at the breakfast table one day. I've edited out the longer pauses and stumbles.
The thing I enjoy and admire about Rudolf Steiner's writings is that he doesn't give you facts or doctrines to memorize, but simply points toward things you can look into for yourself. Usually they are hard, obscure, or even bizarre, but it is never about adopting his view. It is about the act, the effort, of applying your own attention ...

Gimp My RideA tale of a strange place I know all too well, the wheelchair supply house, whose name I'll leave unsaid. I had just come from there and met my crazy new chair, then recounted the story over dinner with our friends Scott and Janie.
Yeah, the place is a real mess, but I love it and feel loyal to it--and hope that comes through in the story. The folks there are like family in an odd way, and they've taken good care of me.

Dainty, Ja!Another encounter at the Frankfort folk festival. This game is known around Louisville because of our German heritage, and it's played at least once a year in the Germantown neighborhood. This was our first chance to experience the spectacle of it in person.
Once you look past the silliness and difficulty of it, it actually looks like fun. I kinda wanted to try it, but not in the street in public....

Bears in the Woods (GG)Just because this is our, oh I don't know, umpteenth recording on the subject of bathrooms--it doesn't mean we're obsessed with the topic or anything. Really! These things keep coming our way! Is it our fault that bathrooms make great material?
This encounter took place at a folk festival in Frankfort, KY. You'll hear a little of the family band Murphy's Echo at the end.

"We are the world"Some brief and not terribly original thoughts while meditating. So many of the bitter divisions between people arise from the conviction that "we are not of this world," meaning that God has put us here as a sort of trial--after which we will assume our true form. While I agree that the material world is not our true form (or not all of it, in any case), I'd still argue not just that "we are of this world" but that "we are the world." Our job, then, is not ...

In the Indiana woods (GG)My day took me near some woods with well-made trails, and I got out of the car to sit amid the trees for a while. Wish I'd had better microphones etc., but making a recording wasn't my goal; it just happened. It's hard to give a sense of how quiet it was and how full that quiet seemed.
I didn't see the bird whose call opens up the recording. A turkey maybe?

Life or DeathWhen I was called for Jury Duty last month, it turned out that all the potential jurors were being considered for one trial--a murder case with burglary as an "aggravating circumstance." One by one, each juror was interviewed in the presence of the judge, attorneys for the defense and the prosecution, various court officials, and the defendant himself.
I'm not usually tongue-tied, even in public speech, but this setting made me quite uneasy. As you can hear, the words just didn't ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |

Blessed by the Fame Fairies (GG)Our neighbor can now, at long last, bask in the reflected glow of our ever-burning fame, rather than a sunny cow-field.

Gavi's Diner (GG)I'm happy to have found this place--more for the well-loved and homey feel than for the food--kind of hidden downtown. As you can tell from the conversation, it has its regulars (but then, it's the kind of place where you'd feel like a regular after about three visits).
Apparently the mac & cheese brings 'em in, and breaks their hearts when it's gone!

Installing a Faucet, part 2 of 2What cads we've been! How cruel!! It's been weeks since we put up part 1 of this how-tutorial and, whaddya know, some people actually listened to it--but we never got around to posting the climactic conclusion. 'Til now.
By the way, even if you're not into the plumbing thing, the soundtrack is a killer!
Mentioning "climactic conclusion" reminds me of this:
Climax and Anticlimax sat on a fence. Climax blew up; who was left? Aw, nevermind.

In Search of the Americone Dream (GG)Kathy loves Stephen Colbert and believes sampling the Ben & Jerry's ice cream named after him will somehow perfect her spiritual union with him. The search for this elusive ice cream takes us into strange (for us) territory--the suburban cinema multiplex where the youths of America roam in the open expanses.
Faithful listeners will note that this adventure goes the way all of our expeditions go! When will we ever learn? When will we e-e-e-e-e--ever learn?

shameless navel-gazing (Good Garbage)To a guy with a hammer, it's said, everything looks like a nail.
