Audiolibro Everything Is A Road

Noticing life out of the corner of our eye takes some attention. We are often dazzled by the spectacle of what is in front of us. However, there are precious treasures that may only be seen by a fleeting glance. From his extensive, world-circling travels Cousineau observes: "We're going to be blinded by the glamour of the world, by what everybody else sees or what the Chamber of Commerce wants us to see. The real art, the real story takes place out of the corner of the eye." He guides us superbly by demonstrating how to find moments of true depth and meaning. He emboldens us to be awake to the small details when "life leaps out at you." His advice about writing is that if some small thing causes us to wonder and be amazed we should "take it out for a walk." He says, "It's the communication of a moment in which we glean meaning out of the vast meaningless." As a writer we may start out telling some preconceived story, but if we allow ourselves the space and freedom, we may find that the best stories come from small moments that have grabbed our attention. Thus the personal becomes the universal. Travel with Phil from the cardboard rocket ship of his youth to the footprints on a 3 million year old road. You'll be enthralled and inspirited by his many stories. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)
