And between May and October, I'm sharing a new series I'm calling: A Perfectly Imperfect Union. It's about connecting with every day folks as they reflect on America at 250. Conversations will air every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.-------Where were you twenty-five years ago today?Michael was in a rehab session at the Kessler Institute in West Orange, New Jersey, when he overheard a therapist mention a plane hitting the Twin Towers. He called his wife and told her to turn on the TV—it didn't matter what channel.In this episode of Whole Again, Michael revisits September 11, 2001 through the lens of Rumi's poem "The Guest House," and the grief, shock, and unexpected gratitude that arrived that morning like uninvited guests. But this episode isn't only about remembering. It's about what we've let ourselves forget, and the one thing Michael says we've never really talked about in twenty-five years of "never forget": forgiveness.This is the heart of tip #36.You can now download my Pause Breathe Reflect App with Microdose EQ for FREE on Apple’s App Store or Google Play.
