The heart says to love while the head becomes laden with thoughts of being right. But there is really only one way to be right and that is To Love. Steve Garnass-Holmes will challenge what you may believe and then encourage you with one simple truth. Let’s find out...

#392 Terry Hershey: Pilgrimages to Experience Wonder
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Welcome friends to the Next Chapter with Charlie. On a recent blog I wrote the following note… “On my last trip (3 weeks in Asia), I discovered a new mantra for taking time away from home. “I no longer go on vacations to sight-see. Instead, I take pilgrimages to experience wonder.” What if I made that my mantra for every single day? “Anticipate little except moments of surprise and wonder.” And so with this, I chat with author, teacher, and landscape architect, Terry Hershy. LINKS You can find out much more about Terry and his post Sabbath Moment .

info_outlineOur odd topic today is titled, “The Noble Pursuit of Boredom.” This show will offer unique ideas on boredom.
This might seem a bit peculiar to most people. It sure is for me, because, honestly, I am scared to death of boredom. I’ve got to be doing something somewhere in order to feel valued or needed or happy even.
When the real question is, ”Why do I need to be seeking busyness to make my life feel worthy or happy?” One of my greatest fears with quitting doing a job for a living was to feel bored or useless. Further revelation has caused me to reconsider the need for either one of those things.
This was a huge hole in my soul—and many other people—that needs to be rectified by something other than busyness.
One of my all-time favorite quotes is by Susan Ertz who writes: "
Millions long for immortality who don't know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon."
Daniel Klein, Travels with Epicurus
