Summary

Have you ever felt the strong urge to capture the experience you're having and then to share it with others? We do this with movies, books, restaurants, and of course ideas, opinions, and beliefs. In this episode, I will discuss the joy and pain that often arise when we try to share our experiences and how that joy/pain doesn't have to take away from the original experience itself.

0:00.0	Welcome to another episode of the secular Buddhism podcast. This is episode number 66. I am your host Noah Rasheda
0:08.4	and today I'm talking about the joy and pain of sharing experiences.
0:13.8	As most of you know I just recently returned from a two-week trip to Uganda, Africa. I've
0:30.8	announced that trip before here on the podcast and on the website and on the Facebook page.
0:36.7	And it was an incredible trip. It was even better than last year in the sense that there were new
0:44.9	experiences and connections that were made that were really meaningful. I was I had the opportunity
0:52.1	to start the trip out by doing a gorilla trek with Susie who is also the coordinator of these
1:00.5	trips and a few other people and it was a really neat experience. Spending time sitting on the side of a
1:09.2	mountain surrounded by gorillas, the family that we were trekking had 19 members in it and just
1:16.2	sitting there quietly peacefully on the mountainside, watching them, taking pictures, seeing them do what
1:23.8	they do. That was a really neat experience and I think that kind of set the tone for the rest of the
1:29.1	trip. I'm glad to be back. I feel like the week leading up to the Africa trip, there was a lot of
1:36.2	preparation work and packing and things that needed to be done and that made it difficult for me to
1:42.4	record any podcast episodes and then of course the two weeks that I was gone, I was pretty much out of
1:48.9	commission with no internet or very little technology in general. And then I came home and it
1:57.3	took about a week to adapt. So last week was the first full week home and it took several days to
2:05.1	adjust to the time zone. But I finally feel like I'm back. It's the schedule feels normal with the
2:15.6	exception of daylight saving times throwing a little wrench in there. But things feel pretty much
2:20.5	back to normal and I'm excited to get back on track with recording podcast episodes. Now another
2:26.5	thing that I've had going on that's been taking up a lot of my time is wrapping up the book that I'm
2:32.3	writing. I'll mention more about that in another podcast episode. But with all of that needless to say,
2:40.0	I am several weeks behind on my supposed weekly podcast episodes. So I'm glad to be back. I hope
