Episode 25: Betwixt and Between, The Writer’s Life, an ode to ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ and Truffle Magic
Welcome to Episode #25.......
Sometimes you just need to start in the middle, and somehow you find the beginning and the end. That is how this episode came about. There is always the attention to the inner calling to do the work, to make way, to make hay while the sun shines. This episode is a soliloquy to the creative life, to getting back to writing and to some Italian musing about life and art. ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ and the book ‘Big Magic’ by Elizabeth Gilbert played a role in reminding me why it all matters. And that sometimes you have to go out on a limb if you want to get the fruit. Enjoy.
