All the World’s a Stage
Hey y'all!
Long time no see (have we yet seen each other at all?).
A lot of emotions going on right now. I'll tell ya what, I think I now know why there aren't a huge amount of HSP podcasts at the moment. It's a difficult prospect for a sensitive person to think about throwing themselves out there to the world.
Sheri and I have been working on this podcast for months now, and most of it almost entirely in private, showing it to the occasional family member or friend. But it's been a really closed circle. That's where I feel comfortable doing art. In a dark corner somewhere, no prying eyes scrutinizing my work until it's good and done. I've got issues, I guess that's what this is about. Issues with high sensitivity.
Anyhow, now that we are officially live, it's felt like this great invisible curtain has lifted, and now I was on stage, exposed bare to the entire world! Almost immediately, without hardly any self-promotion besides to a few close friends and family, people all around the world were hearing our voices. In Mexico. In Iran. In Indonesia. All over the United States! I was stunned by the instant far reach of this medium.
And these people were just searching around and somehow stumbled into us, almost immediately upon release. There came with it a sense of exhilaration, vertigo, abject terror. A lot of it carries through yet. My mind reels with the possibilities. My heart imploring me to step up and provide as good a contribution as I can manage. As you've probably heard us say sometimes: We're new at this.
Listening to what we've recorded already, I'm proud to present it to you as a humble gift. If it is of any interest or pleasure or help to you, then I am satisfied a hundred times over. But this is just the start. We will get better and better at this as we go, it is only natural. And with your contribution we will be made complete.
I think Sheri and I can bring a lot of goods to the table, but in the end we're all figuring this out together. There is not nearly enough research done on being an HSP or how to handle an HSP if you're not one. So in the meantime we're stuck with what little resources we have and whatever we can come up with together. We value any and all feedback, suggestions, stories, questions, whatever, because we see our audience as the invisible third person in our discussions.
Luckily Sheri and I have a bit more free time on our hands than usual so we're going to do everything we can to continue producing fresh material for your starving ears routinely. I'm so happy to be a part of this, and I'm excited to be an HSP in this time where we are all waking up to a major hidden aspect of our nature.
It is a privilege to serve you. It would be the greatest honor if your spirits were lifted (even a little, for just a second), or your thoughts provoked, or your value assured and validated by our podcast. I send out the greatest love that I can muster to the incredible swarming masses of beautiful, unique, special people of the world and I hope your day doesn't suck. Best of luck out there! Stay safe, stay sane. We love you.
