about

“Pure plum trees lie everywhere on snow-covered mountains; elegantly they stand in the moonlit forests.” Gao Qi 14th century China

In the last podcast I told you the fairy tale of “The Three Feathers” and talked about the connection between gratitude, imagination, and possibility. This was an invitation to look beyond what you perceive to be a limited situation and actively entertain the unknown, to unleash the power of imagination and the magic that arises from a place of willing curiosity.

The story that I now offer, “The Old Thief and the Plum Seed,” extends those reflections in ways that I didn’t foresee. And that may be the point(!).

Trickster energy is at work in the world my friends. I hope this story enriches your perspective on our changing times and helps you find the opportunities.

May you have a joyful holiday season and smooth transition into the new year. You are the story circle, dear listener and it means everything to know that you are out there.

Thanks for listening and keep the mystery in your life alive.
