[Unedited] Padraig O Tuama with Krista Tippett
P\xe1draig \xd3 Tuama is a friend, teacher, and colleague to the work of On Being. But before that was true, Krista took a revelatory trip to meet him at his home in Northern Ireland, a place that has known sectarianism and violent fracture and has evolved, not to perfection, yet to new life and once unimaginable repair and relationship. Our whole world screams of fracture, more now than when Krista sat with P\xe1draig in 2016. This conversation is a gentle, welcoming landing for pondering and befriending hard realities we are given. As the global educator Karen Murphy, another friend of On Being and of P\xe1draig, once said to Krista: \u201cLet\u2019s have the humility and the generosity to step back and learn from these places that have had the courage to look at themselves and look at where they\u2019ve been and try to forge a new path with something that resembles \u2018together\u2019 \u2026 Right now we should be taking these stories and these examples and these places and filling our pockets and our lungs and our hearts and our minds with them and learning deeply.\u201d And that\u2019s what this hour with P\xe1draig invites.
