Episode: The Power of Names, Seeing, and the Titanic
Description: "We do not have to live as if we are alone." Wendell BerryThe names that we have for things can be labels and replacements for what "is," or a means of seeing and an invitation to deeper knowing of the Other. The natural connections between names and recognition, awareness and affection can enrich our daily lives and populate the titanic emptiness that numbs us and threatens our world today.With readings excerpted from Wendell Berry, Ursula LeGuin, Annie Dillard, David Abram, and poet Mary Oliver.Support the show
