How can we return to our hearts when we find we\u2019ve left them? As we evolve and change along our journey, how do we relate to the \u201cformer selves\u201d in our past? In this podcast, Tami Simon and poet-philosopher Mark Nepo address these questions and more, as they discuss his creative process; his new book, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Half-Life of Angels<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; and how we can each touch the ever-present and wholly miraculous \u201cspark of becoming\u201d waiting to guide our lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tune in as Tami and Mark talk about the introspective nature of the creative process; the metaphor of the soul as an inlet; congruency; how the heart shatters but inevitably heals; becoming a student to the mystery of life; the meaning of the word \u201cadmit,\u201d and the practice of return; seeing through the lens of the miraculous; the intersection of meditation and creativity; the art of re-visioning; how a commitment to truthfulness grows in concentric circles; living from the deep versus diving and coming back up; the shift from being driven to being drawn; impermanence and perseverance; how the life of expression is one of discovery, relationship, and inquiry; why \u201cthere\u2019s always a teacher next to you\u201d; \u201cbecoming the poem\u201d; and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note: This episode originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insights at the Edge<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&amp;As with our guests.
