Goodnight Robin: Recent Episodes
Robin Rice
Loneliness is epidemic - but not tonight! Goodnight Robin is hosted by Robin Rice - your someone to say goodnight to.
With a little over 150 episodes and with just as many heartfelt goodnights, this little, home-spun podcast was created to offer a comforting, loving voice during lonely times. It has been a pretty unexpected and wild ride, especially in these last couple of months through the pandemic. Now that so many resources are available for those who are sheltering in place, Robin has decided to pause the show to work on a few other projects that are demanding her leadership. Goodnight Robin has been a very special experience for her, and we invite you to join us for one more warm and loving goodnight. Thank you listeners and especially to our producer Predrag Mladenovic! Until next time…

Remember hugs? Wrapping your arms around your loved ones and holding them in a warm embrace for a moment or two. Hugs are a statement of love and compassion, which makes them one of the most powerful tools for fighting loneliness. Robin’s a hugger and she can’t wait for hugs to come back into our daily lives.

TIME by Anca
There is
Always
Time …
Time to Breathe
time to Flow
time to Visualize
time to Rest
and time to Push.
Time for Healing -
time
to Stretch
beyond the cozy bounds
of your comfort zone.
Time to be fully
Alive - knowing
that goddess/ god/ divine
walks with you.
Time to Love
time to Care
time to Be
Mindful and
just let it Be
As It Is
because all
is good
already.
Time to Drop
into your Heart
to stay on Top
of your mind.
Time to scan
inside and outside
go narrow and go wide –
Time to hear the birds
and yes, for sure
time to smell the flowers
one by one
noticing their hearts
their pollen and
the beautiful shape
and delightful colors
of their petals.
Yes
There is
Time.
Happiness is a blessing, although these days it feels more like a luxury. The good thing is that we can do something about it. Tune into tonight’s episode to hear what Robin is doing to improve her mood and fight off negative thoughts. What are the little bits of happiness that you’re looking forward to these days?

When you’re practicing self-isolation, your days can get pretty mundane pretty fast. That’s why it’s important to mix things up a bit which is why tonight, Robin decided to dress up for movie night. We’re going to be staying in for at least for a little while longer, but that doesn’t mean we can’t feel fancy doing it.

“The solution is never about fixing but about staying with the fear of helplessness and loss of control.” - Ezra Bayda
This powerful quote from Ezra Bayda got Robin pondering and it’s unbelievably apt to our current situation. We’re dealing with surpluses of helplessness, anxiety, and loneliness which is why tonight’s episode is dedicated to the power of staying. Hopefully, Robin’s words will encourage you to accept things for what they are and help you focus on the positive.

Robin has a very special message she wants to share with you tonight. It comes from a person called White Eagle, a member of the Native American tribe Hopi.

Vision Quest by White Eagle
“This moment humanity is going through can now be seen as a portal and as a hole.
The decision to fall into the hole or go through the portal is up to you.
If you repent of the problem and consume the news 24 hours a day, with little energy, nervous all the time, with pessimism, you will fall into the hole. But if you take this opportunity to look at yourself, rethink life and death, take care of yourself and others, you will cross the portal.
Take care of your homes, take care of your body. Connect with your spiritual House.
When you are taking care of yourselves, you are taking care of everything else. Do not lose the spiritual dimension of this crisis, have the eagle aspect, that from above, and see the whole; see more broadly.
There is a social demand in this crisis, but there is also a spiritual demand. The two go hand in hand. Without the social dimension, we fall into fanaticism. But without the spiritual dimension, we fall into pessimism and lack of meaning.
You were prepared to go through this crisis. Take your toolbox and use all the tools available to you.
Learn about resistance of the indigenous and African peoples: we have always been and continue to be exterminated. But we still haven't stopped singing, dancing, lighting a fire and having fun. Don't feel guilty about being happy during this difficult time.
You do not help at all being sad and without energy. You help if good things emanate from the Universe now. It is through joy that one resists. Also, when the storm passes, each of you will be very important in the reconstruction of this new world.
You need to be well and strong. And, for that, there is no other way than to maintain a beautiful, happy and bright vibration. This has nothing to do with alienation.
This is a resistance strategy. In shamanism, there is a rite of passage called the quest for vision. You spend a few days alone in the forest, without water, without food, without protection. When you cross this portal, you get a new vision of the world, because you have faced your fears, your difficulties ...
This is what is asked of you:
Allow yourself to take advantage of this time to perform your vision seeking rituals. What world do you want to build for you? For now, this is what you can do: serenity in the storm. Calm down, pray every day. Establish a routine to meet the sacred every day.
Good things emanate; what you emanate now is the most important thing. And sing, dance, resist through art, joy, faith, and love."
Given the situation that we’re currently in, overall feelings of loneliness are probably at an all-time high. Robin knows a thing or two about being lonely and she wants to help you lift that burden for just a little bit, every night. Whenever you feel like you need to, don’t hesitate to join our little podcast so that we can shoot the breeze together. Robin is here for you.

John O'Donohue was an Irish poet best known for popularising Celtic spirituality. Sadly, he passed away in 2008 at the young age of 52, which is why Robin holds his words particularly close to heart. Tonight, she will recite some of his lines that fit perfectly with the times we are currently living. You can find the full excerpt at the bottom of our show notes.

An excerpt from To Bless the Space Between Us by John O'Donohue
“This is the time to be slow,
Lie low to the wall
Until the bitter weather passes.
Try, as best you can, not to let
The wire brush of doubt
Scrape from your heart
All sense of yourself
And your hesitant light.
If you remain generous,
Time will come good;
And you will find your feet
Again on fresh pastures of promise,
Where the air will be kind
And blushed with beginning.”
Robin wants to share some cool news about one of her old meditations. It’s called There’s Nothing Wrong With You, it’s available on Insight Timer and it currently has over 274,000 listens. The news really perked up Robin’s day and for tonight’s episode, she’s going to reflect on the advantages of creating evergreen content and in case you’re not already making your own, encourages to give it a go.

Some stories show that you’re never too young to start making the world a better place. Robin came across a story that was released a couple of months ago, about a teenage girl named Haley Ford. In 2012, at the young age of 6, Haley started growing food that she could then give out to the homeless. In the following years, she even started building cabins where they could stay or spend the night. Such a wonderful story and such an inspiration. Amazing work, Haley!

Grief is a normal part of life. It’s how we cope with loss, deal with it and finally, accept it. Sadly, these days it seems like we need it more than usual. Many people run from it as if it were a bad thing, as if avoiding it is somehow better. As human beings go, we don’t function like that. In tonight’s episode, Robin is going to talk about why grieving is so important for our mental health.

The reports about the pandemic can be overwhelming, especially since most of us are staying at home and don’t feel there’s much we can do about it. Tonight, Robin talks about her “unplugged day” and why tuning out the news for a day can help you regroup and replenish your energy. We’re in it for the long haul and we need to pace ourselves. Occasional “unplugging” just might be the thing for you.

The self-isolation is starting to take its toll on many. Even though we’re saving lives, there’s no running away from the fact that these extraordinary circumstances are not what we’re used to. Robin feels that people are starting to get itchy which is why tonight’s episode is dedicated to highlights the positives that will come as a result of a powerful struggle. Thank you everyone for staying inside and taking care of each other. And if you’re feeling a little lonely, or a bit down, or just itchy, Robin offers some words of comfort.

"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right-doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.” - Rumi
Ever been fighting with a dear friend or a loved one and just wished that you can pause the whole thing? Well, these wise words from the Persian poet Rumi are something that can help you build on that sentiment. So for tonight, Robin will do her best to remind you that when we enter an argument and our emotions are fired up, it’s good to remember the person we’re in conflict with is still someone very special to us.

Some really good news for tonight. Over the past week or so, Robin has been insisting that we need to stay positive and tonight, she’s being backed up by expert opinion. In a recent interview with the LA Times, the Nobel laureate Michael Levitt has revealed that he believes we’re going to be fine. The bad numbers will start to drop and as long as we’re willing to do our part, stay isolated and keep each other safe, we’re going to pull through this together.

According to a recent CNN article, even though the Coronavirus has been rough on humanity, our planet might be an unlikely beneficiary. It’s probably too early to tell exactly how much Earth will be able to heal during this period of reduced carbon emissions but it’s a nice thought. It’s a great way to shift the focus from all the negative. So tonight, Robin hopes to drag you away from the sad, worrying and lonely thoughts, even if it’s just for a little bit.

Do you think you’re capable of creating a masterpiece that will affect millions of people and generations to come after you… all while you were goofing off? Sounds impossible, doesn’t it? And yet, it seems that it completely worked for Tolkien who supposedly wrote the Lord of the Rings trilogy because he was avoiding his academic work. Doesn’t that sound wonderful? In tonight’s episode, Robin reflects on all the great things we can achieve if we allow ourselves to revisit the state of childlike play.

Some of us have already been isolated for quite some time and it’s already getting a little bit challenging. The loneliness issue is surely becoming greater by the day.

Tonight, Robin is going to quickfire some of the stories of people helping people and invite all of you to think about if there’s something you’d like to offer to the world during this challenging period of our lives.

People have been trying to find ways to lift their spirits during these challenging times. And for tonight, Robin shares an initiative where people are bringing back Christmas decorations to inspire a message of love and togetherness. Even if we’re in isolation, this is a gentle reminder that there is still a lot of life going on inside each of our homes. To fight off the feelings of sadness, anxiety, and loneliness.

“It’s comforting to be sent to bed (or first thing in the morning or when I’m feeling out of step) with kind words and loving intentions. Thank you, thank you!” - Fan Review of Goodnight Robin

Exciting news from Kenya suggest that we have finally figured out a solution that reinvents how we approach the question of drinkable water. A non-profit company called GivePower created a world’s first solar-powered desalination plant. Robin was really impressed by this system that is proving to be a gamechanger for a very serious issue.

Lockdown by Richard Hendrick (Brother Richard)
Yes there is fear.
Yes there is isolation.
Yes there is panic buying.
Yes there is sickness.
Yes there is even death.
But,
They say that in Wuhan after so many years of noise
You can hear the birds again.
They say that after just a few weeks of quiet
The sky is no longer thick with fumes
But blue and grey and clear.
They say that in the streets of Assisi
People are singing to each other
across the empty squares,
keeping their windows open
so that those who are alone
may hear the sounds of family around them.
They say that a hotel in the West of Ireland
Is offering free meals and delivery to the housebound.
Today a young woman I know
is busy spreading fliers with her number
through the neighbourhood
So that the elders may have someone to call on.
Today Churches, Synagogues, Mosques and Temples
are preparing to welcome
and shelter the homeless, the sick, the weary
All over the world people are slowing down and reflecting
All over the world people are looking at their neighbours in a new way
All over the world people are waking up to a new reality
To how big we really are.
To how little control we really have.
To what really matters.
To Love.
So we pray and we remember that
Yes there is fear.
But there does not have to be hate.
Yes there is isolation.
But there does not have to be loneliness.
Yes there is panic buying.
But there does not have to be meanness.
Yes there is sickness.
But there does not have to be disease of the soul
Yes there is even death.
But there can always be a rebirth of love.
Wake to the choices you make as to how to live now.
Today, breathe.
Listen, behind the factory noises of your panic
The birds are singing again
The sky is clearing,
Spring is coming,
And we are always encompassed by Love.
Open the windows of your soul
And though you may not be able
to touch across the empty square,
Sing.
“Sometimes these episodes feel like Robin knows my life and is crafting her encouragement and wisdom specifically for me!” - Fan Review of Goodnight Robin
Did you know that England is tackling and reinventing homelessness in a major way? A non-profit organization called Action Hunger has been offering vending machines to the homeless, which provide them with sandwiches, fruit, energy bars, clean socks, toothbrushes, and other daily necessities. Tonight, Robin applauds this incredible movement and celebrates the fact that there are so many different ways in which we can offer help to those who need it.

Robin came across a post that was being shared around Facebook and decided to read it to you tonight.

"And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently.
And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal.
And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed." - Kitty O'Meara
Yes, things are changing. And we are paying attention! Robin is determined now, more than ever, to provide comfort and connection through Goodnight Robin. Because new users are finding us on YouTube, the channel will be up and running again. She wants to do everything she can to be a beacon of support in these troubling times.

Even though our planet is facing a dark period, there are wonderful moments of light going on around us each day. Tonight, Robin highlights one of those moments. José Andrés is a celebrity chef and the founder of the World Central Kitchen. He’s closing down all of his restaurants until further notice but he will be converting some of them into community kitchens to help those in need of a meal. This is just one of the many wonderful stories of people stepping in and doing what they can to help. Bravo, José!

People often say “it’s never too late” and tonight’s story preaches to that statement, albeit from an unusual angle. Roberta George has recently published her first novel and it’s been picking up awards left and right. What’s special is that she did so at the age of 80. And what makes it even more special is that it’s a steamy saga. Tonight, Robin praises Roberta’s achievements and wholeheartedly agrees that it’s truly never too late to do anything you set out to do. Even if it is a bit racy!

The situation that we’re currently in has caught us off guard and it’s true that challenging times are ahead. And even though it will not become the main theme of our little podcast, Robin will be checking in from time to time with touching stories that inspire us to feel and do better. For instance, Woolworths is launching an “Elderly Only” shopping hour in order to make sure senior citizens will get the supplies they need. What a wonderful idea! So tonight, Robin invites you all to bring on an age of new ideas that will help us overcome this difficult period in all of our lives.

Tonight’s episode is dedicated to all you animal lovers out there. And in honor of your love, Robin shares with you a story about a man and his dog. John Unger and his dog Schoep have been together for 19 years. Towards the end of his life, Schoep has been suffering from arthritis and dysplasia. So every day, John would go out with him to the lake, go into the water and cradle his furry friend gently. Whenever Robin thinks about our love for animals and animal loneliness, she thinks back to this story and how we all need love.

Pope Francis has really brought something fresh to the Vatican. It feels like he’s all over the news and recently he was even portrayed by Jonathan Price in the movie Two Popes which Robin loved and talked about in one of our previous episodes. But he really seems to be making an impact and one of his latest accomplishments has been turning a stunning 19th century Vatican palace into a shelter for the homeless. Robin hopes it will be a place of healing for many in the years to come.

“Robin’s energy is so loving and comforting!” - Fan Review of Goodnight Robin
Warning: Robin does not condone the actions made by the people in this story. Well, just the first part actually. This hilarious YouTube clip went viral last year when a Scottish fellow recorded his confession. He’s dubbed the Wholesome Drunk Intruder by the internet and it’s so charmingly funny you have to check it out. It had Robin in stitches! Anyway, it’s a crazy story but as Robin points out in tonight’s episode, it’s also a testament to all the great experiences life has to offer when people are willing to be patient, open, and understanding.

Tonight’s story made Robin so very happy! Harnessing the power of community for good is something that’s often a theme on our podcast. Tonight, Robin brings a story from Nebraska. It’s about a farmer and his son who were on the verge of losing it all. It’s a really wonderful story that shows how people are able to speak loudly by simply not saying a word. Tune into tonight’s episode to hear all about it.

“I look forward to listening every night.” - Fan Review of Goodnight Robin
Something is fresh in the land of Denmark. A wonderful idea implemented during the 90s and it may be one of the reasons that make it one of the happiest countries in the world. They’ve taken on a systematic approach to teaching children empathy. Ever since 1993, children between the ages of 6 to 16 take mandatory empathy classes. Robin was blown away reading about this program and she’s delighted to share yet another Good News story with you.

A 14-year old boy from Tennessee challenged his state lawmakers to offer some perspective on the everyday issues of people living with disabilities. And they took him up on it! Alex came up with the “Spend a day in my wheels” challenge to raise awareness for people with mobility devices. So for tonight, Robin applauds this young man’s campaign while sharing her own thoughts on the value of exploring viewpoints different from the one you have.

“Blessed are they who remember
that what they now have they once longed for.” - Jean Valentine
If you’re a poetry fan like Robin, wait until you hear about this one! Tonight, Robin shares an inspiring idea coming from the UK. A Poetry Pharmacy recently opened up in Bishop’s Castle with a goal of providing people with alternative therapy for emotional ailments. Imagine all the people who are feeling sad or lonely going in and getting a prescribed dose of words that can heal or just brighten their day. It’s just such an amazing idea. For Robin, this lovely quote from Jean Valentine often does majestic work. What are some of the poetry lines that do the trick for you?

We have an announcement to share for tonight’s episode of the Goodnight Robin. First, Goodnight Robin is doing GREAT on a lot of our platforms! We will continue with those for some time to come. However, as you know this is a home-spun podcast on a low budget. This means we have to spend our time and resources wisely in order to make the greatest impact. That is why we have decided we will no longer be posting episodes on our YouTube channel, for the time being. Thank you so much for all of your support and we invite you to subscribe to one of our other platforms where you can still catch our show every single night. Robin will be there, fighting the loneliness epidemic, one goodnight at a time. We hope you can join!

“I will admit to listening to them 4 at a time. And not always at bedtime.” - Fan Review of Goodnight Robin
Tonight Robin brings a story about a 26-year old Ph.D. Navajo graduate who managed to get his degree in spite of being homeless. In order to make his schedule work, he slept in libraries, took showers on campus and lived out of his car. His name is Dakota Kay and this episode is a shout out to his incredible success against all odds. Way to go, Dakota!

“Loneliness is a sign you are in desperate need of yourself.” - Rupi Kaur
In one of our previous episodes, we heard about a quote from the young poet and author Rupi Kaur. For this one, Robin picks out another one of her inspirational lines and this one complements the theme of our podcast perfectly. She deep dives into loneliness once again and what we can do to about it. And you don’t have to do it alone. Join in for this episode and let’s fight loneliness together.

Tonight’s story comes from Ottawa, Canada where the residents of the Stirling Park Retirement Community went out for a day of some fun on ice. Paired up in tandem sleighs, they were able to take a spin on the World’s Largest Skating Rink. This story moved Robin deeply and tonight she will share her thoughts on why we need a whole lot more of gestures such as this one.

Tonight, Robin brings a school project from Ireland, put into place to teach children about generosity. For 30 days, the students were excused from all traditional homework assignments. Instead, each of them were assigned with acts of kindness. So for this episode, Robin reflects on the power of generosity, inspired by this wonderful story. Would you be up for this type of “homework” for the kids you know where you live?

“Love the pondering on the things we don’t really talk to each other about.” - Fan Review
You might be familiar with Your Holiday Mom, which is another one of Robin’s social change projects. It provides support to LGBTQ children during the holiday season and moms all over send letters of support to kids that desperately need it. Robin recently came across a program where dads are joining in to help the cause. It’s called Dragon Dads and it’s a community created around dads loving their LGBTQ children. The group is a way for dads of LGBTQ children to share advice and learn how to best support their kids. Go Dragon Dads!

Do you often find hesitant in asking for advice? It’s odd how much difficulty some of us have with simply acknowledging that we’re not properly trained for something and that someone else might be delighted to help us out. Knowing what you don’t know is an amazing skill to have and seeking advice is not a sign of weakness. Tonight, Robin is going to share a few stories from her life that demonstrate how we build community by lending each other with a helping hand.

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” - Albert Einstein
If this quote sounds familiar, it may be because Robin touched on it a little bit in one of our previous episodes. Tonight, she’s going to revisit this unique viewpoint on miracles from one of the world’s greatest minds in both science and life. It’s actually a part of a longer thought sequence filled with gems of wisdom and Robin recites it fully in the episode, so make sure you tune in to hear it. Let’s turn loneliness into connection. It will be our little way of making miracles.

Words are beautiful. They are majestic and plentiful. Some are mellifluous and some can be very unpleasant. Words can hurt but they can also heal. Tonight, Robin shares a huge announcement that comes from Washington, DC, about a brand new museum opening up. And it’s going to be entirely dedicated to words and language. What a wonderful idea!

Depression and negative self-talk go hand in hand. Robin knows a thing or two about that. Throughout her youth, she fought with devastating, recurring depression. She would spend hours upon hours being tortured by a debilitating voice in her head that told her all of these horrendous things. Until one day at least - when Robin realized that she could talk back. Tune in to find out just how quickly things turned around!

If you had to guess, do you think life on Earth got better or worse in recent years? A peculiar question sure and it may be incredibly difficult to find a precise answer for it, but it’s not about that. It’s about your subjective feeling, the one you get when you start to think about it. We tend to sway towards the negative side and in a TED talk from 2014, Hans and Ola Rosling demonstrate in a very entertaining way how we’re actually primed for bad news. So in this episode, Robin ponders what that means for our everyday life and what can we do to save ourselves from devastating ignorance - aka, what we don’t know about what we don’t know!

“Love this concept and love how the format is small.” - Fan Review
You won’t believe what happened to Robin today. Absolutely nothing! And that’s ok. It wasn’t the first and it won’t be the last. We all have days like those. When nothing memorable happens, neither good nor bad. Still, even when everything is feeling mundane - it’s not an excuse. Robin knows she still has to show up and put up a good fight against loneliness. Even when the day is perfectly ordinary the goodnights can still be remarkable and here at Goodnight Robin, everybody gets one. Make sure to tune in to get yours!

Tonight Robin shares a really heartwarming story about a food-rescue program from an elementary school in South Bend, Indiana. A nonprofit organization called Cultivate is now cooperating with Woodland Elementary and they’re repurposing leftover food to create frozen meals for children who probably wouldn’t have anything to eat over the weekend. Isn’t that amazing?

“I love knowing that even when I am on the road & away from my loved ones, I can come here to get a warm good night message.” - Fan Review
We are all selling something. In tonight’s episode, Robin reminisces about the numerous lessons in advertising she got from her dad when she was just a little girl. It may not be an ideal pass time for a young girl, but it taught her to think about subtext and what’s actually being sold from the culture at large. And what is Goodnight Robin selling? If you look beyond the ads that help us keep the show going, it’s an idea about what we can do about loneliness. More on that, also in tonight’s episode.

“All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.” - Anatole France
Personal growth is all about change, growing from one state to another. This quote from the French poet, journalist, and novelist, Anatole France, expresses a vision of endings as a necessity for reaching the next phase. Rather than dreading the end, we should look forward to the good things that change has in store for us. So for tonight, Robin dissects these words and goes deep into our flawed perception of endings, death and the beauty of rebirth.

“Nothing in my daily life is an obstruction or an obstacle to my path. Nothing. Even if it might look like it. Then especially not. So even if it looks like it blocks me... then it's especially not an obstacle. Then it’s especially important.” - Thomas Hübl
In life, obstacles are an essential part of the journey. How we interpret them can vastly influence our ability to learn and grow. These soothing lines from the Austrian contemporary spiritual teacher Thomas Hübl inspired Robin to reflect on loneliness and explore it in a different light. What are some of the obstacles from your life that taught you some of your favorite lessons?

It’s a lovely quote from Rupi Kaur, an Indian-born Canadian poet and author, who is a New York Times #1 bestselling author and illustrator.

--
Things Were Different by Robin Rice
Things were different from how everyone said it would be.
Forty and then some, getting soft under the chin and arms,
divorced from the way things were.
I was not left alone; did not become unremarkable.
Lovers did not cease to bring wine to my lips, gifts to my soul.
My garden of friends, though changed in hue every now and again, never withered.
The sun did not become my enemy--oh, how wrong they were on that one!
Poverty was not the perpetual wolf at the door,
yet neither did riches become my security.
My children did not turn from me, even in their most difficult years.
No, none of that.
Sometimes I wonder, truly, could my disillusionment have come sooner?
Could this light in my eyes have been lit even younger,
had I not believed in what everyone said?
“These good night stories are equal parts charming and deep. Like a kiss on the forehead before you go to sleep.” - Fan Review
Stories are a huge part of our humanity. They are a way for us to interpret life. We use them to share, communicate and build connections. Tonight, Robin breaks down the role of the storyteller and why she uses stories to fight the loneliness epidemic.

“Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)” - Walt Whitman
Contradiction can often be misinterpreted as inconsistency or even hypocrisy. And these words from the famous poem Song of Myself written by Walt Whitman beautifully portray moments where contradiction plays a completely unique role in exposing multitudes and layers within ourselves. In tonight’s episode, Robin talks about why we should accept contradiction and seek to interpret it in a meaningful way rather than using it as an excuse to reject people or their ideas entirely.

“If you want to awaken all of humanity then awaken all of yourself... Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.” - Lao Tzu

Also in tonight’s episode, a story of an encounter with a Tibetan nun and her inspirational words.

“We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” - E. M. Forster
Over the years, Robin created a big collection of quotes and things that inspired her and keeps them in a very special file. Tonight, she fights loneliness by reflecting on a particular gem from that collection. This quote from the great E.M. Forster has withstood the test of time and is still very close to Robin’s heart. It’s all about being open to new opportunities and letting go...
