S11 Episode 73- Cultivating an openness to epiphany

In this episode, the dogs continue their in-person visit in Maryville, Illinois (00:13). They discuss how the trip is going so far (2:30) and swap stories from trips to Alaska (9:50), Lyon (24:30), Paris (29:40), and elsewhere. Michael Metz frames the discussion around the difference between approaching travel with authentic receptivity versus consumerist self-indulgence (13:10), setting the stage for reflections on leisure (14:50) and the nature of authentic self-care (21:15). 


Quotes:

“Who I am is a gift; to God, and to myself, and to other people.” (Connor, 17:18)

“Every baptized person is bringing the light of Christ wherever they go.” (Connor, 20:20)

"My take on reality is so tiny and yet I have access to the totality in God.” (Connor, 28:00)

“... It’s not through transcending our humanity that we then feel full; it’s through recognizing our limitedness and embracing it. Where is the glory? It’s in the simple encounter.” (Connor, 29:00)
