Summary
There is a kind of sadness that is not only about loss. When what we rely on falls away, something older is revealed—an underlying openness we usually try to cover. When we dare to face it, we develop the courage to remain open. Even when nothing is resolved. Even when nothing is promised. Even when life does not give us what we hoped for. This episode explores what happens when we do not rush to fill that space, and how the ache, when met directly, can soften into a quiet tenderness. ★ Support this podcast ★
