    Someone suggested I do a podcast about Oliver Plunkett. And to be honest I found a lot out by doing it. In this podcast I tried to use John the Baptist as a template. John is the guy who comes before Jesus, ,appears in the wilderness and is called the forerunner in the Orthodox tradition. I recorded this a few weeks ago so it's not synched with current feast day. I'm trying to get around to making an episode on the Transfiguration soon. Maybe next weeks episode. Anyway here is Oliver for today; I hope you enjoy.

    It's like Skellig in a way. It's a rugged cliff on the edge of the Atlantic, and a great refuge of serenity and peace. Join me now as I look out on the Atlantic and ask myself the question, what is the meaning of a Retreat. You can notice by my voice that I was slightly under the influence of a cold, but even that didn't interfere with the powerful effect of just being there..

    In the Hush of this Prayer Room

    I'm just back from Dzogen Beara, the Tibetan Buddhist Centre in west Cork. An oasis of serenity in this mad world. So let me begin with a prayer. And then in an hour or so I'll be dropping the weekly podcast. But this is a shared prayer. Join me. Maybe it's a new idea we could develop.

  • When you were possessed by God

    When you were possessed by God
    2025/07/25
    Amazing to think that long ago in your childhood moments of joy and bliss that you were in fact not alone but that God was rattling your bones with ecstasy of his presence. Amazing to think that such moments are still available in memory, as portals into the timeless love of God.

  • Lonesome Me

    Lonesome Me
    2025/07/18

    This week I talk about a lonesome mood that mantles our old age. And how we cross the bridge of tears alone at the end of life. It's a sombre meditation. But fuelled by the sense of love that exists in old age. Listen in quietude and find in the dark clouds the flickering of light.


    So.....sharing three meditations in this episode. Two of them focus on love between elderly couples. The final one is about the lonesome path towards death. That final one is a solitary journey no matter how much we are loved. It's a bridge we cross alone, leaving loved ones behind. But maybe that final bridge is a journey into something beautiful, a relationship of so much love that we can't comprehend it on this side of the bridge.

  • My Garden on a sunny morning in July

    My Garden on a sunny morning in July
    2025/07/11

    You know it was so lovely this morning at 7am that I sat down to do the podcast with the intention of just talking about the Garden outside my window. But of course like always I ended up talking about how the invisible is made visible, and how the Garden is a love story.

    I hope you enjoy. And if you're listening to this for free, you are welcome, but please consider going to Patreon.com/micahelharding and subscribing; it will help me keep the podcast going. Thank you.

    Such a radical idea! Yes. And in every religious tradition it comes up as the swift path to enlightenment. Let's have a look at it.
