Featuring stories from writer and midwife Elizabeth Lesser, cowboy poet Waddie Mitchell, country singer/songwriter Mickey Guyton, musician Andrew Bird, and the Reverend Otis Moss III.

| 0:00.0 | Before today's episode, I invite you to pause and reflect on what gives you the greatest |
| 0:06.4 | sense of meaning in your life. Sometimes, we might find that we can go an entire day without |
| 0:14.8 | ever taking a moment to connect with what's most meaningful to us. So when you come to |
| 0:19.6 | Mediterta's story, I hope the show helps create that space for you. There's also one other |
| 0:24.8 | podcast I want to share with you today. It's called Good Life Project, and it's really |
| 0:30.1 | thoughtfully designed to help you live a more meaningful life. I just listened to the episode |
| 0:35.2 | called Reclaiming the Stories that Shape Us with Cole Arthur Riley and found it to be filled with |
| 0:40.5 | such incredible wisdom. So if you're looking for another podcast to reawaken your sense of |
| 0:46.1 | purpose and possibility, check out Good Life Project. Again, the podcast is called Good Life Project, |
| 0:54.5 | and I think you'll love it. Hello everyone, low-hand here, your host of Meditative Story. |
| 1:03.6 | I'm really happy that we've put together this between Season Bonus Episode to look back at |
| 1:08.6 | scenes from Meditative Story about new beginnings. We've all been so heightened lately, |
| 1:15.9 | and what I want you to know is that tough times are like weather patterns. Storms move through, |
| 1:22.5 | sometimes terribly turbulent ones, but they move through. The moment to start a new requires patience. |
| 1:31.7 | A word we've heard a lot of lately, but I think you can see the bright horizon ahead of us. |
| 1:40.1 | The signs are there, and I can see it. If you have a friend or relative for whom |
| 1:46.1 | you believe Meditative Story can provide much needed refuge and restoration, please give them the |
| 1:51.7 | gift of this show. We don't often directly ask our listeners to share Meditative Story, |
| 1:57.9 | but at this time, in this moment, I hope you will consider sending a few people we know |
| 2:02.9 | a link to the show. Okay, find a lovely place where you can close your eyes and be with these |
| 2:10.9 | meditative storytellers for the next 30 minutes. You deserve this time, and it gives our team such |
| 2:18.3 | deep satisfaction to have prepared this look back for you as we recognise that even these moments |
