In this time of crisis, uncertainty, and pandemic, The Eyres suggest that one of the things that helps most is to take the long view of things! Yes, this is awful on many levels, but along with the silver linings we have mentioned on past shows, there is an opportunity to pull back and try to see the bigger picture. On their latest podcast, Quoting Shakespeare and Wordsworth, Richard and Linda point out that “sweet are the uses of adversity” and that “our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting.” Seeing things bigger always makes what is happening at the moment seem smaller. Many people of faith believe not only in an eternal afterlife, but in an equally eternal pre-mortal life. On this week’s show, the Eyres talk about this “forever backward” and how it can help us to put the here and now in perspective.
