The Other Everything

Dave Petty

"The Other Everything" is the podcast version of the journey that nudges us to dream and reminds us that life is more than what our senses can only suggest: there is more to life than what we see, hear, taste, touch and smell!Through a sonic excursion of predictable and unpredictable narrative via "spoken word", prose and song, we travel through the daily and not-so-daily places of culture, thought, emotion and imagination to find what is true and real and impossibly possible. "The Other Everything" podcast is one part of a growing project of the same name. Beginning with a book, found on Amazon, and music at Apple and Spotify (look for albums by Dave Petty). Visit our website: www.theothereverything.com. You will find our growing treasure trove of other writings, sounds, images and links connecting you to the work of creatives and "creativity connoisseurs" like you! read less

A Shortish Welcome

A Shortish Welcome

Often undervalued, living with a heaven-minded point of view is the key ingredient for living a life that really matters.The Other Everything is a podcast about dreams and visions, simple faith and magnificent impossibilities. Through a sonic excursion of predictable and unpredictable narrative via spoken-word, prose, and song, we travel through the daily and not-so-daily places of culture, thought, emotion and imagination to find what is true and real and impossibly possible. "and if heaven is interested in Earth, who am I to ignore its interest?" -Dave Petty

Dreaming is important! Daydreaming, envisioning possibilities and impossibilities.Our capacity to imagine beyond the four walls where we eat, sleep, work and play...

#21: Senses and Sensibility

#21: Senses and Sensibility

I'm addicted to my senses. I know I'm not alone. The things I see... I just can't get enough of the blue, blue sky and the shiny things made ever shinier as the bright, bright sun shines perpetually on a clear sky day.

#20: The Deeper Romance

"We've got this rhythm. We've got this chance. To be caught in the movement. Of the deeper romance."

#19: It's All About Relationship

#19: It's All About Relationship

One word... Relationship.

Love can look crazy. Love says, "I would do anything for you..." and it actually does... anything.God's love... being love as He is... recklessly.... extravagantly... spares no expense!

Outcry is another word for Protest. And protest is a resistance to what is often perceived as the abuse of power.Protest has taken many forms over human history; designed to turn word and symbol into transformation.

Recognizing that silence has a "golden" quality to it and a "rusted" quality, depending on why silence is present, let's talk about talking... and speak into the silence.

#15: Listening to God

#15: Listening to God

God is speaking. Is anybody listening?

#14: Listening to People

#14: Listening to People

"I know you think you understand me but I'm not so sure that what you think you understand is in fact what I mean." "Really listening to people, and, by that, I mean listening well to people, is a love thing. I'm not in the business of me if I'm in the business of love."

"The door is not a door. Rather it is the idea of a door." It is a strange reality how ideas and images and imagination and even words are not the things themselves but only represent things. It's the nature of image. Interestingly enough when we consider "likenesses" there is most certainly a correspondence between what is the image and the original from which the image was made."When is a door not a door? When it is rolled away." -Steve Turner

Beauty can often stun us. A sunset, the face of some one we love, a daffodil in bloom, a newborn baby... Beauty catches us by surprise and seems to make the day worth all the trouble.What then is the difference between what is beautiful and what is ugly? Is it up to the beholder to determine? Or is it grounded in something more?
