Passion Struck with John R. Miles · Mark Nepo on What It Means to Live with an Open Heart | EP 713 · 8 Jan 2026 podcast

So nothing was blocking the flow from source into the world.

Well, this is a fantastic metaphor for a spiritual practice and what both collectively in relationships and families and towns and nations, but in our own individual work.

and the asequia the source the waterway between spirit and our lives gets clogged not because we're deficient or stupid because it's natural this is what experience does and so we have to clear it out so just like we would do a house cleaning every spring at least once a year we each need our own form of cleaning out

the pathway, the sluice way between source and how we live in the world.

So this gets back to what patterns, what patterns, what wounds, what patterns, what ways of closed-minded and closed-hearted thinking and feeling, what ways of assumptions and judgments, how do we make a practice of clearing that out

So that we start with, I don't know, rather than I told you.

Well, so this is one of the things, as you can look at the book, a shift in our horizons.

And as we age, so I'm 74, I'm hoping to live to a hundred, who knows, but even there's more years behind and ahead.

One of the things that doesn't mean I don't dream anymore, but I often, one of the liabilities of dreaming in our world is that without realizing it, we defer our better self to the future.

Oh, when I do this, then I'll be whole.

When I'm in that relationship, then I'll be happy.

There's always a, if then, oh yeah.

But what we do is when we dreaming, we're actually putting forward some of our potential and possibility so that we can see it.

So that we can then see where is that aliveness in us right now.

How can we bring it alive now?

And I think I've been helped with this because almost dying from cancer all those years ago, while I dream, it always boomerangs back.

Well, okay.

What I have is now.

So if I'm dreaming that, how can I bring it alive now?

And the same thing with memory.
