RÉFLEXIONS

About RÉFLEXIONS

In this new podcast series ‘Réflexions’ I delve into topics and themes that permeate our everyday life but that we perhaps do not take the time to question. The literary and philosophical landscapes of concepts such as Courage, Inspiration, and Patience are traversed to find out how thinkers across many different disciplines articulate the ineffable. Through creative inquiry I hope to open up the conversation around apparently universal truths and reignite our curiosity.

   PATIENCE

   In this episode I ask what’s at the heart of the quality of Patience. With the help of writers, and poets from Suzuki-Roshi, Rumi, T. S. Eliot, Thomas Merton, Rilke, Wendell Berry, and George Herbert to John Milton, I unravel the misconception that patience is a passive act, instead finding the strength within the stillness.

   INSPIRATION

   In this episode I explore one of the greatest creative mysteries – Inspiration. With the help of poets, writers and artists like Ocean Vuong, Emerson, Agnes Martin, and Rilke, I investigate the conditions necessary for us to access this most elusive of things only when we ‘breathe into’ – from Latin inspirare.

   COURAGE

   In this episode I discuss the concept of Courage and ask what it means to live from the Latin cor, meaning ‘heart’ – citing writers and thinkers from T. S. Eliot, Gabor Maté, Rebecca Solnit, Virginia Woolf, and Tara Brach to lyricist Conor O’Brien from Villagers.
