What if you could see the grief you feel as the evidence of your incredible capacity to love?

What if the deep feelings of lost remind you of how precious your life and everyone in it really is?

What if the pain you feel could be alchemized into an even greater ability to be present

to transform and to live fully?

So I think it's those three things.

Welcome to spiritually hungry podcast episode 41.

We are, well, I am going to do my best to get through this episode without too many tears.

So we were planning on coming out to Los Angeles this week.

And when the day before we came, Monica's father, who, I know Monica shared

many of our podcasts before, was had all kinds of issues. He was in the ICU. And well,

you know, it's a very difficult situation right now. So deep in the middle

of a process. Right. And I have to say, you know, I told Monica, you know, we should cancel the

podcast this week. And Monica's like, no, we have to do it. So I applaud Monica for caring about

our listeners, even during we have to do it. So I applaud Monica for caring about our listeners, even during

this very challenging and difficult time. And I hope that this will be, I'm assuming,

a shorter episode than usual, but I do hope that in what we share today, our listeners find

some light wisdom. And, you know, Kabbalistically, we always teach that

one of the ways to draw light and support is to share even in the most challenging time. So,

once again, I, you know, both support and applaud Monica for attempting to record a podcast

while she's going through a very difficult time with her with her father.

I mean, that's the thing out of all the, I mean, I haven't done very much this week in terms of, I'm not feeling motivated to, you know, I just slot a lot.
