Second Coming (not what you think), Grief and Big Dreams
Hints and Guesses - A podcast by Kent Dobson
Categorie:
In this episode I struggle with making any sense of the rising tide of bad news coming from just about every source. In some ways, we are living in apocalyptic times, meaning a time of both destruction and renewal, Noah-like times. There is so much to grieve and there is so much that makes me wonder what "slouches toward Bethlehem to be born?" It seems like we need the poets, the storytellers and the dreamers to tell us the truth, like Yeats does in this dark poem. We need the truth beneath the truth. We need the deeper truth in a rising sea of facts, some of which are glaringly un-factual to begin with. In the end, I wonder what waits in each of you, what dream wants to be born, in the middle of this apocalyptic mess.
