He was an amazing man who taught me a great deal, and perhaps in some ways save my life or at least my way of living. And his wisdom and teaching was profound and new and unusual and still is. And of all things he passed away on Christmas Eve and so every time at this part of the year there is a little bit of mourning as well as a celebration of his life in my life. Indeed he taught this rather foolish young man how important it was to live in tension... To indeed be intentional about seeking tension. Because in seeking and embracing tension we get to live out some of the most creative moments and ideas in our life.
Yes, the Christmas season is about comfort and joy but it's also about crisis and tension and if you are truly a grown-up there will be times in your life where you welcome both and learn to make a good choice and learn how to respond, and perhaps learn how to live in a way that is not only different in degree from most people but maybe even different and kind.
Again the program is just about 17 minutes and I challenge you take time to hear the stories and then to create your own future stories in the year that is before you.
