Lighting The Candle Being Present in a Diverse World Ep 210

In this heart-centered and thought-provoking episode of Lighting the Candle, hosts Bill Correll and Jan Jeremiahs invite you into a deeply reflective conversation that spans from backyard bunnies to Buddhist philosophy, from the beauty of cultural diversity to the meditative power of everyday tasks.Recorded during a quiet summer moment, Bill and Jan explore what it means to truly belong—to nature, to community, and to ourselves. Together, they unpack the value of slowing down, the richness of authentic relationships, and the subtle, often overlooked power of being fully present in the moment. Whether it's forest bathing or reflecting on family dynamics, the conversation gracefully weaves together practical wisdom, spiritual insight, and lived experience.

You’ll hear stories of multicultural connection, insights on the challenges and beauty of post-achievement reflection, and the gentle reminder that celebrating others—especially those different from us—is a radical act of unity and compassion.

This episode is a warm, grounding reminder that a world that works begins with noticing the people and beauty already around us.
