Listen to this: On Being
One of the most unexpected luxuries I’ve discovered in adulthood is inexplicably waking up on a Sunday morning before 8 am, feeling completely rested, the room bathed in early-morning light. I can’t explain it – it’s one of the best feelings, to know I’m up at such an hour, the entire day ahead of me and to spend exactly as I like. In those quiet moments back when I was in Indianapolis, I’d turn on the radio next to my bed and catch some of On Being, a radio show hosted by Krista Tippett, a woman with the most soothing, reassuring and pleasant voice perhaps ever to grace the radio waves.
