I couldn't help but decide to record a special episode of the podcast for us this week, inviting us to hold the question, "What does it look like to bear light in the midst of the coronavirus?"
I mean, is bearing the light a luxury, meant for when times are calm? How do we think about this when our inner and outer resources have been significantly taxed?
Isn't Maslow's hierarchy of needs a thing?
These questions asked me to wrestle. Because really, if this is the work of *my* life—inviting you to bear your light in the world in your own particular way—then does this work matter when the world is quarantined and no one knows where this is going or how it will end?
What do we do with our light in the face of a pandemic? Is this a question worth asking? And if it is, how do we even begin to answer it?
That's what today's special episode of the Bear the Light podcast invites you to consider. I ask lots of questions. I approximate some answers. The rest are yours to hold.
I hope you'll share with us what you notice is true for you in response to the questions I offer you!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
