In this episode Sascha and I talk about the practice of sharing abundance.

We consider how awkward and un-practiced we feel at noticing what we have in abundance, believing it is needed and delivering it to actual beings who can use it. Similarly we discuss how often we feel under-resourced and blindly grasping for help we can't find though we know (or at least suspect) they can't be more than a few connections away.

We experiment with an abundance practice wherein we make short lists of what we, personally, need and have to give in this moment and also what we as a project have abundantly and need desperately, and notice that it feels good and useful right away. Before any actual help is exchanged.

We wonder at how we can build more structures for this kind of resource sharing, talk about some of our current efforts toward this end and feel a little hopeful about what might come next.

In this episode Sascha and I talk about how it feels to hand things over to something we can't see, know or control to tend.

We look at moments when we've come to the end of our ability to act and understand but nowhere near the limit of our ability to care or worry.

We wonder about what it means to let something go with a belief that it will be caught - by community, by forces of nature, by things we can't define - and how that compares to letting go with a feeling of dread and insufficiency.

We note how useful it is for imperial materialism and our constantly adored cell phones to have us feel like we are letting people down when we let thing go unfinished, and hope for ways we might practice new ways to whole-heartedly doing our part - including periods of work and periods of rest - for ourselves, each other and the big unknowable everything we live with.

In this episode Sascha and I sit together in person and talk about the wonder of loving one's self. We consider our differing aptitudes for it, its various and glorious side effects, and how we've experienced it alongside and nurtured it in each other through out our long friendship.
