In this episode, we share a beautiful heart-centered and heart-awakening conversation with an Interfaith chaplain and college instructor in world religions, Alfred K. LaMotte, familiar to us as Fred.

• We get invited to walk barefoot and un-name the stars
• We learn that when you have no agenda life can be so original and simple
• We admit that we have wings that are vast and crystal
• We P-R-A-Y together and P-R-E-Y together until a flame of healing arises and we purr
• We give ourselves permission to eat whatever is delicious
• Hear how an aspiring general has alchemized into a warrior of the spirit
• We honor inhalation like a royal guest and make a spacious tent of our flesh
• We learn that the one who whirled the stars into life has come into our body as this breath and unless we become hollow….we won’t be filled with music
• We remember that when we are aware of our own flesh under our feet we save the earth by savoring the earth

Fred has published five books of poems, “Wounded Bud: Poems for Meditation, / “Shimmering Birthless: A Confluence of Verse and Image”,/ “Savor Eternity One Moment At A Time”, / “The Fire of Darkness: What Burned Me Away Completely, I Became”, and his forthcoming and highly anticipated book, “The Nectar of This Breath”… from Saint Julian Press, scheduled for release the week this episode was recorded.

Fred is a graduate of Yale University and Princeton Theological Seminary, He is a meditation guide who loves to gather circles for meditation and poetry.

He lives in a small town on Puget Sound with his beloved wife Anna. It is rumored that he “…loves to walk barefoot in the wet grass at midnight, un-naming the stars.”

Fred says, "The radical act is being present. The revolution is to breathe." Let’s be radically present with him and breathe his poetry as prayer!
