Summary

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast. This episode is edited and adapted from Being and Becoming by Fenwicke L. Holmes.

Not one drop of blood, nor so much as the daintiest shadow of down would we surmise from the outer shell; and were we to break through the frail wall, we should render it but a messy tomb — for even as we search its shapeless form, we find that the imprisoned splendor has escaped, carrying its secret with it.
