Join me as we discover what in the world the “Unstruck Sound” is anyway—and how this podcast came to be. Audio slightly adjusted to be more consistent throughout. Originally aired: February 1, 2023.

Welcome to a new series born of an experiment and named after a discovery made in this pilot. Daily poetry, readings, discoveries, affirmations, nuggets, all with the intention of creating little pockets of space in your life where you can be reminded that you are brilliant—that you already contain the wisdom you seek and can access it in the space of the "unstruck sound."

About me: a middlish-life student learning how to better embrace what it means to be human. This series is an exploration and expose of my journey into daily somatic practices to better my ability to BE ... to be a human "BEing". I struggle with meditation—so perhaps this is my wrangling. And yet another imperfect, vulnerable voice here to share that you're not crazy—it's hard to make space and yet so worth it. And, so I figure, 5 minutes is better than none. What do you say? I look forward to spending +5 minutes a day with you, assuming I figure this out.

In this raw and sometimes awkward episode:

1. Kim Krans's "Animal Spirit Cards"—Explore her artwork and "Wild Unknown" decks. She has children's books, too.

2. David Whyte's "The Bell and The Blackbird"—a poem in an eponymous book. While looking for a good link, I found this site which displays it elegantly and includes a link to where you can buy it. Check your local library if you can. (And if you live in Portland, perhaps you can request it, so they'll order it for our collection.)
