108 Life Is Not On Hold

In the early days of the pandemic in America, self-quarantining,
social distancing, and lockdowns were portrayed as a "pause." In
this episode, we discuss how we are reckoning with the fact that in
reality, there never was, nor will there ever be, a "pause," at
least when it comes to life. What life looks like and feels like,
is in fact, life, not a pausing of it. We've discerned some
profound gifts offered to us, through the situation we all find
ourselves in. It includes:
reckoning more seriously with what is important to us, learning
more deeply what makes life worthy of being lived, worthy of
showing up for
facing the fact that our individual life is so fleeting and
fragile, and can be irrevocably lost with little warning
apprehending the reality that each of us is just one brief mote in
the incredibly mysterious phenomenon of life on Earth and in the
universe

Our intention has always been to uplift, entertain, and encourage
people, especially fellow LGBTQers and progressive allies around
the world, ever since we first started podcasting in 2007.
Over the years, we’ve continued to get messages from listeners
who’ve shared how it’s helped them through difficult times, like
coming out, rejection from family, dealing with religion, or living
in the closet, helping them feel more understood, less alone, and
just kept them going, reminding them and showing them, that life is
worthwhile.
That’s exactly why we do it.
We managed to self-finance the podcast since 2007. For 13
years!
But now, we’re extending an invitation, and a way for you, the
listener, to play a part in supporting it. See all kinds of ways to
