LTMP Podcast 5: What’s on your radio?

Podcast Topic
This podcast we talk about gaining awareness to the things that on our metaphorical radio dials and how they play into our being, lives, relationships, and businesses.
Book
The book we discuss in this episode is Let Your Life Speak by Parker J. Palmer. I read this book over the weekend and I plan on rereading it again this coming weekend again. It is b.e.a.utiful.
In the podcast I read some segments of the book that discuss living out of and into your true self, the issue of burnout, and the gift you become to the world as your music plays.
For more information on Parker J. Palmer, be sure to visit http://www.couragerenewal.org/. And if you know Parker, be sure to tell him his words have changed a young lad in Texas.
Music
This week we check out a new up and coming artists, James Bay. Not long ago I was driving and heard his voice come through my radio. In an instant I knew his riffs, lyrics, and tone had something to teach me.
Be sure to visit his site at http://www.jamesbay.com/ and purchase his latest record in iTunes by clicking here.
I loved his lyrics in his song, Let It Go.
But now we’re sleeping at the edge –Holding something we don’t need
All this delusion in our heads – Is gonna bring us to our knees
Thoughts
So what’s on your radio dial?
The last five books you’ve read will write the prescription for your next pair of glasses.
You are the average of your five closest friends.
The last five songs you’ve heard will be what you’ll be whistling.
“…if people skimp on their inner work, their outer work will suffer as well.” Parker J. Palmer

Lyrics from The Villagers song, Courage
Do you really wanna know,
About these lines on my face?
Well, each and every one is testament to
All the mistakes I’ve had to make
To find courage
It’s a feeling like no other
Let me tell you, yeah
Courage
In harmony with something other than your ego
Courage
The sweet belief of knowing nothing comes for free
For free…
Courage
It’s a feeling like no other
Let me tell you, yeah
Courage
And harmony with something other than your ego
Courage
The sweet belief of knowing nothing comes for free
May you hear the questions of the universe this week. May you hear the flower’s petals ask if you if you’re in bloom. May you have the courage to respond. May you hear the mountain invite you to come climb. May you find the courage to start the climb. May you seek to find those instruments that were originally poured into you. May you find the courage to pour them back out, to contribute, and to make the world around you a better place.
Pause by the orchid. Listen to the bluebird sing. Be love.
