The Second Coming

This is a first - the only real indication of what we were going to talk about was the fact that friend and returning guest, Jeremy Peressini, said that we needed to use the Yeats poem, the Second Coming as the jumping off point. So that's what we did and the rest, as they say, just came out of that. It's all over the map - the geopolitical map that is, and for those of you who have listened to previous episodes...well...the cards are revealed in this episode, to a certain degree. If you think that we are in a bad way politically, whichever side of the political spectrum on which you happen to reside, well, have a listen anyway. Is it not true that the only way we learn is by listening to the views of others? As we wait to hear the results of the election, I can only hope that everyone who could, did in fact vote. 

If you would like to watch the YouTube video of the reading of the poem - here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY2oIsA4c7k

Listen wherever you get your podcasts - you can find Walking Alongside on Podcast Addict, Podchaser, Pocket Casts, Deezer, Player FM, Tune-In and of course Spotify, Google Player and Apple Podcasts - where if you can leave a comment or throw me some ideas of topics you'd like to hear about, that would be great.

Walking Alongside is written, recorded and produced by me - Charissa McKay (aka CharCharBinx) in my awesome basement home office/studio/craft room on Treaty 6 lands known originally as amiskwaciy-wâskahikan, meaning Beaver Hill House, in Nehiyawewin (Cree). There are other names, equally as meaningful, and I am grateful to those who were here before me, for the ability to call this place my home.
