What if the universe were whispering in my ear at every moment?

"What if the universe were whispering in my ear at every moment?" A truly evocative question from Steve Roberts, visionary author and reflecter. Steve joined the Campfire Call today and brought more elucidation to the writings we had read for the call.

What if I considered the idea that the universe is giving me information at every moment vs. just how I normally expect to be communicating? What if, instead of limiting myself to what I think I know, I consider that there are many ways to be a human in this world?

How would this change my perception of Alzheimer's or anything that creates separation between us and those around us?

The Great Remembering: An African Journey Home

Last night I interviewed Craig, my Heartland partner and husband of 26 years, following his recent trip to Tanzania, Africa. The trip with 13 men over 50 years old, led by old friend Richard Leider, was a watershed journey into his emerging elderhood as well as surprise "inventure" into a deep remembering into his humanhood. Caig kicked off the session saying........

We’ve all had those moments of awakening or remembering, some fleeting as if from a dream, where we know and feel connected in a visceral sense to all things, human and otherwise. Then, most of us return to the “real world” where day-to-day life resumes. What if these moments were the reality in which we were born to live, and that what if these episodes are the great remembering of what it truly is to be human?
