#231 Terry Hershey: Creating Space for Something New
Show Notes\xa0 Okay, truthfully\u2026 today is a show I very much look forward to hosting. It is yet another episode with my dear friend Terry Hershey. Now typically, Terry and I have some rather challenging philosophical issue to discuss and it\u2019s always a blast to do that kind of show. But today will be a bit different. It\u2019s a hybrid\u2026 maybe. \xa0I anticipate a sort of potpourri of catching up on stuff we haven\u2019t talked about for a while. First of all, as of 2 hours ago, baseball is back\u2026 and my son has a job again. Next, Terry just spent the morning watching birds\u2026 or something like that. So we will chat about our lives and things that really matter. Before that however, I read a quote this morning by poet David Whyte that has me thinking deeply and I am most interested in Terry\u2019s take on it. The poet Whyte wrote, \u201cIn life we are in the difficult act of disappearing, often against our wills, in order to make way for something we cannot yet comprehend\u2026 perhaps the ultimate form of human generosity is that of giving ourselves away to see how and in what form we are given back.\u201d In other words, \u201cYou gotta lose something in order to get something new.\u201d Just a note. In just a few days Terry will be at the Religious Ed Congress in Anaheim, CA. This coming Saturday March 19, he is giving a speech in the Arena. His speaking time begins at 10:00 AM. You can go to www.terryhershey.com Terry is bringing 3 brand new books. And, be sure to say Hi, because I am part of the sales force. And I always cheat and give the best deals. Haha Okay, Okay. I was wrong. I cannot put the Character Strengths Assessment online. It requires a special invite. So, so sorry!
