I have not taken much time with this new topic, but I have a friend who does an NPR podcast called Us & Them. Links aren't allowed here, but you can easily find it. It emanates from West Virginia Public Broadcasting and Peabody Award-winning public radio producer Trey Kay, who listens to people on both sides of the divide & tells stories from the fault lines that separate Americans. I have had many conversations about how I find the phrase unhelpful & separating, choosing to try to heal the divide that seems ever-widening rather than accentuate the fault lines. I will find the time to return here as I certainly appreciate the seed question & invite you to check out my friend's podcast.

At first I was thinking of the amazing oral traditions of the Indigenous people - which has held on to actually MORE than seven generations. But mostly this is about listening - not my strongpoint - and then about REALLY listening. Listening between the words. Feeling the spaces. Looking and thinking outside the box. These enrich our perceptions. These enhance our lives.
