Lou Tamposi is an equally unique and beautiful writer that regularly demonstrates the power of presence. Lou has a gift of drawing you into his world through the written word. His posts illuminate the subtle beauties of his developed skill to notice them in everyday life.
As I told him on our podcast, reading his essays regularly brings me peace and makes me want to live more presently.
In our conversation, we discussed alignment, noticing as a skill, writing to slow down your mind, conscious living, authenticity, finding what you care about, cultivating meaningful experiences, internal and external distractions, informed eating, community, failing in public, fatherhood, embracing discomfort in all domains, and much more.
It was interesting how everything we talked about came back to the themes of alignment and presence. These are the exact themes that persist throughout Lou’s powerful writing.
Just like his contemplative writing, our conversation today gave me so much to chew on as I continue to strive toward radical presence in the meaningful tasks I take on each day.
Shout out to some of our favorite writers Jeff Lund, Erik Hogan , Jesse C. McEntee, James Freitas, and Erin Miller who came up at various points throughout the podcast.
