I Will Read for You: The Voice and Writings of Jaiya John

Sacred Conversation with J.S. Park, hospital chaplain and author of the astoundingly profound and beautifully poetic book, As Long As You Need: Permission to Grieve. For many months, I have been excited to have and to share this conversation with you. J.S. feels, lives, speaks, and writes in a mystic poetry that moves me deeply and calls me back home to our sacredness within. In our conversation here, we celebrate our kindred childhood soul architecture; revel in what it means to find refuge in closets, under beds, and in the back seats of cars; draw a compassionate portrait of what it means to attend a dying; wander over the territories of Love, grief, and the spiritual First Space (aka third space, liminal space) of stillness and witness; and taste the fruit of the paths available to us for Joy's harvest. You may find J.S.'s work on Instagram at @jspark3000.

Sacred Conversations are periodic episodes of my podcast in which I reach out to people whose work and life inspire me, and we simply have an old fashioned phone conversation. No video. No scripted, transactional, extractive, one-sided interview dynamic. Just two people with a care and curiosity for each other’s journey, asking each other soulful questions, and enjoying the ancient, mutually healing art of listening deeply. Again, not an interview. A spiritual communion. The idea is for us to relax and enjoy an organic conversation, like over tea or breaking bread, and get to know each other along the way.
