A LONG STORY, THAT WILL END WELL, AND A HELLUVA MOTHER’S DAY TALE
Mary continues her thoughtful journey of engaging the unfolding story of destruction that is all around us in these times. Is kindness to others, and occasionally marching in the street enough? We don't know, because we are in the middle of a very long story, which for avid readers is the best kind. Mary finds hope in a truism from the tradition of storytelling - "everything turns out OK in the end," and she draws on her personal experience of living through a sad and fraught story for decades, and then experiencing its transformation into blessedness. Enjoy this Helluva Mother's Day Tale and have some Kleenex handy for this one!

ENCOURAGEMENT – Steady presence to good people, and the winter medicine of crows
Sometimes the best remedies in life are the simple ones: you can take time to be with a favorite old friend, and take delight in your pets or the wildlife near you. Step out of your head and drop into your heart, as you seek the nourishing company of a special person who has inspiring qualities. Cuddle up with a pet or breathe in a bit of Nature's wild freedom with the sight of some wildlife in your environment. Need to de-stress and seek a re-set? Enjoy this easy bit of encouragement from Mary Hayes Grieco. The storytelling about crows starts at 9:40.

MAKE PEACE WITH CATASTROPHE
Mary leads us in a thoughtful reverie about the place that the experience of a catastrophe has in our life and growth. From personal catastrophes like a bad accident or a debilitating illness or the sudden death of a friend - to collective experiences like fires, floods, terrorist attacks and riots, the nature of catastrophe is to come upon us suddenly, unexpectedly. Despite its traumatizing effects, it has the power to open us up to a larger sense of life and how we belong to it. From a large-scale event like a tornado to a small and intimate moment of losing a baby in a late miscarriage, a catastrophe is shocking and intense, frightening, and wonderful, and in this podcast, Mary goes there.
