This Too Shall Pass

This Too Shall Pass

We’ve all heard the phrase, “This too, shall pass.” It’s often offered as comfort during difficult times, a reminder that circumstances change and relief eventually arrives. In this week’s Deep Dive, Orin and Mira explore what happens when we look more closely at this familiar piece of folk wisdom and discover that it has something to teach us about attachment, impermanence, and the surprising freedom that comes from loosening our grip on life.

Words That Look Back, What's Yours?

There’s a quiet miracle in discovering that not every mood needs to run its course. That we can feel the tug of emotion, recognize it… and choose not to be swept away. In this podcast episode, we explore how a simple mantra became a steady companion on the path from reactivity to presence. It’s not a dramatic journey—but a subtle, consistent one. One that leads, eventually, to the center. Orin and Mira reflect on the practice of invoking presence in the middle of emotional weather, and what happens when the story of the mood no longer defines the moment. “But what happens in the center, you might ask? Nothing… and everything. Just stillness. A place from which to choose.” Article: https://everytimelessmoment.substack.com/p/a-matter-of-choice Practice: https://everytimelessmoment.substack.com/p/practice-the-invocation-of-presence Song: https://everytimelessmoment.substack.com/p/i-dont-move-unless-i-mean-it

It Keeps Traveling

This week’s Deep Dive explores the strange and often invisible life of the things we send into the world. A word spoken in passing. A melody heard once and somehow remembered years later. A sentence shaped by irritation or kindness that continues echoing long after the moment itself has passed. What happens to our signals once they leave us? In this reflection, we explore sound, emotional tone, intention, and the possibility that communication may be far more alive and far-reaching than we usually imagine. Through music, language, and ordinary human interaction, It Keeps Traveling considers the unseen resonance of what we create and the echoes we leave behind.

Words That Look Back, Disdain

This week’s writings begin with a moment that didn’t fit the way I saw myself. A word offered by someone else. Unexpected. Unwelcome. And, as it turned out, useful. Rather than defending against it, I chose to stay with it—to watch, to question, to see what might be revealed over time. In this Deep Dive, Mira and Orin explore that process from another angle, looking at what becomes possible when we remain with what we’d usually avoid. Listen in.

Words That Look Back, Sublimate

This week’s exploration of the word sublimate opened something deeper than a definition. What begins as an attempt to manage or resist what arises… slowly reveals itself as an opportunity to work with energy in a different way. In this Deep Dive, Orin and Mira take a closer look at that shift—what happens to our use of energy when the meaning of a simple word changes, and how that change begins to shape the way we meet the moment.
