A Musing: Recent Episodes
Diego Aguirre
The greatest lessons in life can often come from the simplest observations. A Musing exists to promote the simplest, purest form of spirituality and mindfulness: pausing and tuning in to the lessons that life is constantly trying to whisper in our ear, but we’re too distracted to hear.A member of the Imaginoise Podcast Network.
In this episode, you'll get to learn a bit more about me, thanks to questions submitted by listeners via contactamusing@gmail.com. Let's become acquainted!
Sameness is safe. Sameness is familiar. But it can also be limiting and myopic. What can we gain from "otherness"? Let's dig into that question.
We're conditioned to see subtraction as a negative idea. There's a subconscious notion in most cases that if something is taken away, it's a loss. But.. could there be a different way of seeing that idea? Let's explore that.
Next time you walk past a construction site in its beginning stages, check out the foundations... see how deep they go down, in order to build a tall structure. This isn't all that different from us building our own lives. Let's explore that idea!
How much do we actually have control over in life? If we pause to think about that, there's very little that can't be taken from us, that won't wear down, or become obsolete. But... if there was something that we had control over... shouldn't we be wise about how we use it?
It's amazing how a piece of art that is aimed primarily at kids can continue to speak to us, even as adults.

Friction can be uncomfortable. But we've had a relationship with friction since before we had use of reason. So... perhaps there's a bright side to the discomfort of friction? This episode explores that idea.
Stand tall and strong in the face of life's storms? Sounds like what we've been taught in most cases. But... is there another way of traversing a trial in life? A wiser way?
Society teaches us to see emptiness as incompleteness... as a void we need to fill. But, is there another perspective about this idea?
We take the time to learn how to operate all sorts of devices and gadgets in our life. But how about ourselves? A musing inspired by the purchase of a new camera? Yup... that happened. If you wanna chat about this week's topic, hit me up at contactamusing@gmail.com. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Can we learn a deep lesson from a RomCom? Let's take it back to the year 2000 to find out! If you wanna chat about this week's topic, hit me up at contactamusing@gmail.com. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
This is where the journey begins. Before I dive into individual lessons, I want to paint a picture of what you can expect while you make your way through these episodes. Let's dive into Episode Zero!
