Episode 27: Ego Death by Story: Trusting We're Safe

Synopsis

Today we have something really special. I create in 9’s, so every 9th show closes a cycle, completes a minor journey in our great journey together. This is a universal truth: completion allows new beginnings. Death is a vital part of life, not something to fear. Some of us had someone to read us stories when we were little. Some of us didn’t. What I’d like to do is give 9th shows over to the telling of classic children’s stories. All you have to do is show up, sit back, and prepare to enjoy. I hope by reading you a story today you can receive something beloved but forgotten; maybe you can recover something that was once thought to be lost forever. In appreciation for the warmth and light of life, as well as the shadow we all pass into with time, today's story is about an industrious child, in an industrial age, and the way that death can dignify. Happy Friday journeyer. I present to you: The Little Matchgirl.
