Day of the Winged LionessThe Day of the Great ChangeI have a story for you - a very short story with a very happy ending, one that would turn the tide of our current disastrous direction. I even claim that it's true - truer than anything you'll ever hear on the news. Regardless, no one is going to believe it.
And yet I'll wager that even the scientists among us would agree that what we believe possible has a significant effect on what actually ends up happening.
So, with the world as we used to know it falling apart all around us, with no...2022-09-0542 min

Day of the Winged LionessPeace in Times of WarThis war freaks me out.
Because of the real life horror of it, but also, of course, because of what might possibly, unthinkably happen, IF…
When the news first broke, all I could do, in shock, was to think obsessively about it, trying to find a way out. But instead of finding a way out, all that thinking unleashed all my worst fears, and for a while I felt myself close to slipping into a bleak darkness, and never coming out…
Thankfully, I now know that can never happen, I’ll never stay in the...2022-05-0123 min

Day of the Winged LionessThe Protector of LifeThis relaxing poetic tale is one many "guided experiences" by Silo that have been described both as "short stories with happy endings" and as "psychological practices based on an original literary form."* All the Guided Experiences are available for download at silo.net, as well as in print at Latitude Press, where audio recordings can also be downloaded. This reading of "The Protector of Life" was recorded by Trudi Lee Richards to the music of Erik Satie, Gymnopédie no. 1 (for Harp) (available courtesy of Musopen.org).

Day of the Winged LionessReport from the Place Where We Do Not Die"We do not die!"
This was what, in astonished recognition, I told myself one day more than twenty years ago, when I stumbled without warning into the Place Where We Do Not Die.
I do not know how I got there – perhaps it had something to do with certain nerves being stimulated by the abdominal massage I was receiving for my insomnia. But the “how” doesn’t matter – I hastened to get more massages after that, and they always left me in the most ordinary of realities.
What matters is the possibility that we do not d...2021-10-0415 min

Day of the Winged LionessHow to Keep Smiling in Times Like TheseWhat if you’re just starting out in life and everything you’re supposed to be excited about – college, career, money and success – leaves you cold? What if even your friendships seem empty? What if nobody you ask can tell you how to find meaning in life?
That was Michael’s quandary at 17. All through high school he’d been looking for answers, and now he figured he didn’t have any choice. “Either I find meaning,” he resolved, “or I end my life…”
Well – he’s still here. I know – I talked to him just last week on zoom, and he...2021-08-291h 04
Day of the Winged LionessA Conversation between Aspiring ImmortalsWhat happens when two quite mortal humans launch themselves out into the void to talk about Life and her Special Child, our good friend Death?

Show Notes – Episode #2:
On Pretending – plus a bit more on Rebelling Against Death…Pretending… any serious actor will agree that it’s a fine art. Yet hardly anyone but little children takes it seriously. For most of us, our imagination begins to atrophy from neglect after we pass the age of seven, and we never experience the power of pretending intentionally, with all our heart and soul.
That’s what this episode is about.
Before getting into that, however, I had to respond to...2021-06-0733 min

with Trudi Lee Richards
Show Notes – Episode #1:A Back Door to Transcendence How I got myself into this…I’ve always been a ham, always loved to read my poems and stories aloud to as many spellbound listeners as possible – but aside from the occasional poetry reading, it’s never been that easy to find an audience. It got worse when I started singing – by then I was already an old person in a youth culture, and who was going to listen? I had p...2021-05-0336 min
