Terry takes us on a whirlwind tour of what it means to give voice to our own authenticity. It requires deep listening and fertile silences. She encourages us to speak âMother Tongueâ â speaking from the belly rather than the mind.
She laments that in Western culture âthe language of economics has power, the language of the law has power, the language of science has power. But an intelligence of the heart, an emotional intelligence, or a poetic sensibility, or even a sensibility that comes from the side, from a different angle, from a different point of view, asks us to form a different kind of shape of conversation.â
In this delightfully warm and thoughtful program youâll be dazzled by the mystery of Terryâs dying motherâs request for her to read her journals, but not until after her death. Terry found 3 shelves of journals only to discover all of them were blank. Puzzle along with Terry as she takes us from the Red Rock Wildlands of Utah to the Plains of Kenya in a far-reaching dialogue about finding oneâs authentic voice. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)
