Episode 22: Fr. Ed Leahy of St. Benedict’s Prep School

IMG_7115

A few weeks ago I watched a story on 60 Minutes that I found to be profoundly inspiring. It involved a prep school in Newark, New Jersey, a Benedictine monk, and a body of young men being nurtured and educated in a way that I had never seen before.

It’s an honor to introduce you to Fr. Ed Leahy, the young men of St. Bendedict’s Prep School, and the good and necessary work they’re collectively participating in.

As you approach this week, may you push against the resistance and bring your best self as a gift to the world.

The Space Between (Part 2).

The space between creativity and something new being crafted is me.

The space between me and you is compassion.

The space between compassion and awareness is empathy.

The space between empathy and action is love.

And that is the space that changes the world.

I’ve connected quite a few dots since Part 1.

Happy Birthday Maya

Maya Angelou would have turned 88 today.

Many of her words often, still, speak to me.

Here’s some of them I have cherished the most.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”

“There’s nothing quite so tragic as a young cynic, because it means the person has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.”

“Life loves the liver of it.”

“If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.”

LTMP Episode 18: Fr. Richard Rohr with Ashton Gustafson

Richard Rohr

Hi friends! I am so excited to share with you in Episode 18 at Let The Music Play Podcast one of the finest men that has ever graced our planet, Fr. Richard Rohr.

Fr. Richard Rohr is a globally recognized ecumenical teacher bearing witness to the universal awakening within Christian mysticism and the Perennial Tradition. Fr. Richard is the author of numerous books, including Everything Belongs, Simplicity, The Naked Now, Breathing Under Water, Falling Upward, Immortal Diamond (my personal favorite), and Eager to Love: The Alternative Way of Francis of Assisi.

Over the last twelve months I have journeyed through the land of his ideas and insights and consider them some of the finest treasure I have found. Alas, I am overwhelmed with joy to share our conversation with you.

Enjoy! And if any of this dialogue strikes a chord within you, please support his work by visiting the Center for Action and Contemplation.

Simple Truth(s)

Delayed gratification and The Law of the Harvest pair very well.

Mundane is magic.

Mystery is to be embraced.

Gratitude is a great ‘noise’ reducer.

If it’s true it will set you free.
