The Explorer Poet PodcastAuthor: Josh Mortensen
When we listen intently, we become guests in the sitting rooms of other peoples minds, and in a small way experience each others version of consciousness. Through conversation we can check our abstract reality against the abstract realities of others, ensuring we move forward as a whole. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking.
