MEET YOUR GUIDE ON THE SIDE
What is the meaning & purpose of life, the universe, everything?
Hello & Welcome to the Recreation to Re~Creation Podcast.
My name is Jen & I'm so glad you're here.
The question above is the only one these conversations have in common.
I started asking this question because of my own fascination.
With existence, meaning & what it is to be human.
My own answer?
As with all things, it has changed over time.
And will likely continue to do so.
But as of this moment?
This lyric from the Mumford & Sons song "Awake My Soul" pretty much covers it for me.
In these bodies we will live,
In these bodies we will die,
And where you invest your love,
You invest your life.
When I think of 'life' ~ it's more than just a lifetime lived. It's the energy we bring into our being and into the world. It's where we place our intention and attention. Our efforts and excitement. Our devotion and care.
In my mind, what greater thing could we 'do' while we're here than invest our energy into what we love and 'be' advocates for that love in all areas of life. The people, places, projects, passions, professions, planet & all beings that call it home ~ including all parts of ourselves (even, no especially, the crunchy ones).
I'm fascinated with the experience of being human ~ which includes both living and dying. Death has been a catalyst for both my outward and inward exploration & expansion. Inspiring me to continually be & become a human being that acts as a circle of care for myself, the people I impact and the planet I am a part of.
If you want to see a list of my outward efforts, you can listen for hints of them in these conversations or visit my LinkedIn for a list of businesses, not-for-profits, expeditions, projects, volunteering, presentations and certifications that I've "done".
My inward efforts are far more intangible but I believe are reflected in my way of "being" in the world ~ it shows up in the way that I am in conversation, meditation, recreation and donation ~ of my time, money, energy & my voice.
I'm still learning everyday about what it is to be human, finding natural tools for navigating change ~ an inevitable part of life, including death. It's my honour to share what I find with you & be your guide on the side along the way.
