"What do you care, Little Bird, if it was all Worth It?"

What does it mean for you to be in good relationship with your past?

"Fledging" is the moment in a bird's life when their wings have grown large enough to take flight for the first time.

With the recent closing of Pluto in Capricorn, we as a species are learning to properly close the last chapter and "leave the nest." We are learning how to be in good relationship to everything that held us, and raised us - underbelly and all.

Today's episode is about what happens in our inner world when we're learning how to fledge.

How do we make peace with our past when we are survivors of trauma, we are always in process of healing, but we also know we do not have to remain chained to our suffering?

This episodes asks complicated questions about Tough Love and Easy Flight. How do we create the conditions where healing and freedom can grow easefully, with abundant support?

What is the self-responsibility required of each of us to create easeful conditions for a Free Palestine, Free Congo, Free Sudan, and everywhere suffering conditions of genocide, including within, including under our feet and under our belly?

Buckle In, Good Listeners. Let's Prepare to Take Flight.

There's a blooper in the middle of the episode that I decided to keep. In the middle of recording, a pigeon landed on my balcony and I chased it away. I thought it was funny and very well timed.

Check out the episode from December 2023 where we first meet Mama Bird & Little Bird (and Earth's Elders - Alexis and David): "the crazy planet"
