Amba, so beautiful, even more so each time I read it. We live in our stories, don’t we. And, as you’ve helped me to see, as soon as we are aware of our story, we become empowered to change it and transform ourselves.
There’s no better illustration of this than you with your father. Thank you for this 🙏.
And, James, thank you for listening—for diving honestly and ever more deeply into your own life on behalf of living a meaningful life, a well-lived life over so many, many years.
Best of your stories I have heard so far. Very moving, so real, and instructional. This is the achievement of a lifetime you describe, because once you've seen past one version of your own limiting stories, they all lose their unchecked power to imprison us in disconnection.
Yes, yes, yes. You are awesome. And, you got it totally. And the story isn't over....chapter 3 is where I share my breakthrough with my father...and wait until you hear what he says, and how that goes!
I am so happy you loved the story. Your "take" means so much to me, Rick. I know you are going to love the whole book. It's story-based. Or, as Brother David Steindl-Rast said, in his endorsement of the book, "In this book, Amba Gale describes her own arduous journey towards learning “The Art of Sacred Listening”. Thereby, she proves two points: 1- That Biography is a most convincing tool for teaching. 2 - That listening with the heart is indeed a sacred art worth acquiring."
Yes. I know I'm "preaching to the choir." He speaks right to that which you stand for, oh, Mr. Honestly Human.
