!Welcome to The Second Cup Show! Today, we talk with of The Tethered Letters, and the best way I can describe this conversation is a feast for the spirit.
“We want our hands in the earth.
We want our feet on the ground.
We want to be present here.”
Chris Wheeler
Every turn of our conversation felt like tearing off a hunk of sourdough bread and dipping it in soup. We chewed thoughtfully—and I savored it entirely. I woke up the next day stilling feeling full, and nourished. I feel pretty confident suggesting that you will, too.
Chris is one of those people who doesn’t just talk about ideas. He lives them. In a world where everyone online seems to have expert advice for living better lives, Chris is actually living his best life—quietly, unhurriedly, and mostly offline.
[But we can’t say nothing good ever came out of the digital world, because if it wasn’t for and her gracious introduction, I would never have met Chris.]
He shares all about:
his intentional detachment from devices & the digital world
how gardening—like any good spiritual practice—tethers us to the present
the discontent of striving and learning to embody the realities of incremental change and slow growth
creating an environment that enables us to reclaim the joy of being attentive all over again.
