What Makes Your Soul Happy

Above all what makes your soul happy? Recently after a week with a hundred plus degree fever I awoke to this question. Details in What-Makes-Your-Soul-Happy-Bob Davis Podcast 1144.

This Question

Firstly none other than Joseph Campbell suggested that as time goes on and we age we’re left with this question.

This Question Is Dangerous

Certainly when we’re young we don’t make the time for these kinds of thoughts,

Even more a thought like what makes your soul happy is even dangerous.

Because we’re bringing things into this world.

For example family, marriage, getting that great job, starting businesses and so on.

In short making our dreams come true.

But as we age eventually the world recedes and the body gives out.

Of course we know this.

Province of Any Age

Therefore while it is the province of age to nurture our soul it doesn’t hurt to devote some time to this question.

Another Year Of Nomad Life?

As a matter of fact as a nomad I had been considering whether I want to continue to do this.

Quartzsite Nomad Experience

In light of this question I suggest in this podcast that I felt I’d had it with the whole “Quartzsite Nomad Experience” last winter.

Wondering Why

And really wonder why I do this at all sometimes.

On the other hand there is the question of what makes my soul happy.

Looking Back

As an illustration some thoughts come to my about my own childhood.

Wild Child

Because I was a wild child much of my motivations and actions in life seemed impulsive.

Elemental.

No Plan Might Just Be A Plan

And yet my decisions to do this or that sometimes on a whim seemed to always work out.

Changes

Given these points I have been considering some changes and wondering whether I want to continue for a fifth year on the road.

To say nothing of the fever.

So when I woke up and asked myself that question…

The answers formed this podcast.

Sundown-Summer-Cloudburst-Bob Davis Podcast 1106

A sundown summer cloudburst gives me a chance to reflect on the nature of time and space. Complete story in Sundown-Summer-Cloudburst-Bob Davis Podcast 1106.

Questions About Nomad Life

Firstly I get a lot of questions about my life as a nomad.

Certainly long time listeners have heard this before.

New Wrinkle

But Sundown-Summer-Cloudburst-Bob Davis Podcast 1106 contains a new wrinkle.

Introspection Summer

That is to say this summer has been a time of introspection.

Therefore I find myself often reviewing my decision to go on the road.

Permanently.

Commitment

As much as I engage in these flights of fancy there’s no question of my commitment to this lifestyle.

Secondly as the rain falls down on the roof of Mobile Podcast Command…

Time and Space

I discovered the relationship between time and space.

Another key point involves my own work history.

And discovering other entertainers and media people have had a similar experience.

Build Up Cool Down

Especially the build up to do a show and the cool down time necessary afterward.

In addition how much time we spend working on our craft whatever it might be.

Indeed I found day after day of preparation and shows left little time for cool down back in the day.

Forgotten Intensity

Even more years of this kind of intensity is something I had forgotten.

Until my first year of nomad travel.

Ping Ponging

Undeniably and unabashedly ping ponging back and forth across the United States.

Of course loving every minute.

Unlike that first year subsequent years have seen me slow down and take my time.

Hence discovering this concept of time and space.

Key Life Decisions

With this in mind decisions we make for ourselves can seem selfish or even crazy.

It’s only afterward the benefits become clearer.

And on balance I think a lot of the introspection this summer is tied to that day I decided to go.

Eventually I carved out the time.

Only afterward realizing it was also space.

No Orthodox Lifestyle

Finally I never wanted to live a so called orthodox lifestyle.

Road and Experience

With this intention came the road and experience.

And time.
