Time & Other Thieves
Reflections and conversations on the nature of existence. Sarah B. explores philosophical, spiritual, and religious ideas as they're presented in various books.
In late July I will start leading Time & Other Thieves: The Group: A monthly discussion, meditation, and interpersonal process group. Both cohorts of the group will meet on Zoom, one on the last Tuesday of every month from 2–3:30, and the other on the last Wednesday of every month from 6–7:30 (both P.M. and EST). Take your pick!

Time & Other Thieves
January 2023
In this first-ever podcast-only episode of Time & Other Thieves, I share some of my thoughts on Christmas (a.k.a. Guiltmas), New Year's fireworks (condoned aggression), New Year's resolutions (no, thanks), Bodhisattva vows, and what I've been up to since retiring the radio version of this show. I briefly (yay!) discuss some of the key ideas I've flagged so far in my reading of the book Awakening the Buddha Within, by Lama Surya Das, and I read a passage from the beautiful novel Gilead, by Marilynne Robinson. I also talk about how my new life as a disciplined-writer-with-the-goal-to-get-published is going, and the help I'm getting from an anthology called The Art of the Personal Essay, and through reading more literary journals. Lastly, I reiterate the importance of tending to your spiritual self -- the most important work that any of us can do!
