Rather than mere tools, words serve as companions that guide us into relationship with life, each other, and the unseen currents of meaning that sustain us. Through stories, etymology, and cross-cultural insights, Nepo reveals how language shapes perception—from understanding courage as something we enter into relationship with to reclaiming “genius” as an inner guiding spirit present in everyone. He challenges modern assumptions that isolate us from the whole, inviting a return to kinship, where every conversation can become a spiritual practice. With warmth and depth, Nepo reminds us that words, rightly held, restore our shared humanity and awaken a reverence for life. \u003ci\u003e(hosted by Justine Willis Toms)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003eBio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003eMark Nepo is a poet and philosopher and a most eloquent spiritual teacher.
