What does our reaction to another person’s pain mean about us as humans? Why, when someone experiences something heightened, heavy, painful, or extraordinary, can we feel it in ourselves, in our bodies, in our hearts?
Responding to a poem called “A Retreat to the National Forest, Ostensibly to Pray” we reflect on all they ways we belong with each other as human beings, today on Don’t Hold me To This.

Episode 014: When Who You Are and What You Do Don't Match
We humans were made to make a difference in the world, and each of us has somewhere maybe deep within us a sense of how we are designed to do that: a love, a longing, a gift we want to develop and deploy into the world for the common good.
And each of us has or has had at some point a job—that thing we do to pay our bills, to feed ourselves or our family, to make ends meet.
Often, maybe too often, who we are designed to be and what we find ourselves doing are mismatched, and we feel a dissonance, a friction in our souls and in our sense of our meaning in the world.
When Who You Are and What You Do Don’t Match, today on Don’t Hold Me To This.
