In this episode I talk about a recent experience where some of my own Disquiet showed up. It happened when I went to a surprise 50th Birthday celebration for a friend from college that I had not seen in 13 years.
I also discuss a great new book out by Thomas Moore, “The Dark Nights of the Soul, a Guide to Finding Your Way Thorough Life’s Ordeals“. This was based on an earlier blog post . You can read more about it as well as order the book from there if you like.
Please leave me your reactions, ask questions or share your perspective in the comments section. Thanks!

Dave, your podcast on the Boston birthday party experience really hit home. I just attended my grade school for an event (55 years past) and I had the same realization as you about being the old foggie in the corner comparing health issues! The clock is ticking! We must make the most of every day and appreciate what we have.

You are so right. I am amazed at how moments like these crystallizes how important it is to live each day as if it were our last. Then we go back into the trances of our “everyday-ness”. The challenge is how do we keep awake to this?
