‘The train slowed down and the man told me this was his stop. I got up and we hugged goodbye. For the rest of the ride I held on to the roses as I let go of my numbness. ‘ Therese Bagshaw

SHOW NOTES:

Today’s story is shared by Therese Bagshaw. You can visit her beautiful writing here. This is a unique tale of hope and surprise. Therese also shared a story for series 3 of the podcast (STORIES OF 2020). You can listen to that story here. 

In our discussion, we wonder at Therese’s ability to seize the moment, to understand the importance of one brief, yet life-defining encounter. We also briefly touch on the importance of personal narrative to revealing truth which is difficult to grasp otherwise and the joy experienced when we succeed in sharing some of that truth.

Today’s RECOMMENDATION is Nomadland – a story of meaning – lost and found.
