Not many artists actually hail from Tennessee, but the scenic valleys and rolling hills of The Volunteer State are part of Dustin Lynch’s DNA. In this episode of On the Bus, Country Thunder CEO Troy Vollhoffer sits down with Dustin to discuss his journey from playing fraternity parties and weddings across the southeast to being the first country artist with a club residency at the Wynn in Las Vegas. Plus, stick around for our new segment, Thunder Strike, where Troy features upcoming festival performer Riley Green’s hit song “Damn Good Day to Leave” to give you a taste of what’s to come at Country Thunder in 2025.…

In a previous episode, we meditated over a question than which, in my opinion, there simply is none bigger, more profound, nor more important:

“TO BE, OR NOT TO BE”.

(Or, in other words: to keep on living, or to give up and die).

This is the famously quotable line with which Act III of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” opens.

Hamlet, the troubled Prince of Denmark does what he does best: he dithers. I suppose, ultimately, he decides NOT to be (a decision for which nearly everyone close to him suffers).

In “Paradise Lost”, the great epic written by John Milton, an unlikely proponent of the “TO BE” position, Belial (one of Satan’s fellow demons!) comes forth and answers Hamlet.

He says, in short:

“To be no more; sad cure; for who would lose,

Though full of pain, this intellectual being”?

Join in this fascinating meditation as we explore a devil’s “pro-life” response to Shakespeare’s Hamlet!

Have you ever had a “gut feeling” about something? What about “butterflies in your stomach”? Have you ever had them? It turns out, the GUT is much more than a grumbling, bottomless repository for food; Inextricably linked to the BRAIN, the gut plays a vital role in the regulation of your emotions, moods, and stress. In this episode, we’ll examine the mysterious “Gut-Brain Axis” and offer tips on how to strengthen it and improve your overall well-being. Thank you so much for listening! But wait! If you don't mind sharing, tell me… On what foods do you feel as though you thrive the most? What foods cause you to feel sluggish and dull? Let me know in the comments section or send me a message directly to Email: pneuma.finneran@gmail.com X: @DanielEFinneran IG: @DanielEthanFinneran And we’ll talk about it on a future episode. Until then, Fare thee well!…

Become UNCLUTTERED! How? Simple: Have nothing in your house that is not BEAUTIFUL or USEFUL 23:40

7 gün önce23:40

23:40

William Morris (1834-1896) was an English poet, designer, and political reformer. He developed a simple philosophy for “keeping house”: Keep nothing in your house that you do not Know to be USEFUL Believe to be BEAUTIFUL If your possessions are neither useful nor beautiful, dispose of them. Abide by this easy philosophy, and enjoy the bliss of an uncluttered, clean, and peaceful living space! If you don't mind sharing, please, tell me… Of what item did you have the most difficulty letting go? Which item in your house is the most useful? The most beautiful? I'm eager to know! Leave a comment below or send a message to Email: pneuma.finneran@gmail.com X: @DanielEFinneran IG: @DanielEthanFinneran And, with your consent, I’ll talk about it on a future episode.

Don't Live An IMAGINARY Life In The Mind of Others 21:11

1 year önce21:11

21:11

“We do not content ourselves with the life we have in ourselves and in our own being; we desire to live an imaginary life in the mind of others…” Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician, inventor, and philosopher, came to this realization about humankind in the 17th century. It remains as true today as it was back then. In this episode, we discuss living an “imaginary life” in the mind of others, as opposed to embracing our real existence in the pursuit of truth.

Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad | Fall Asleep With Me 34:56

Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski) was a Polish-English novelist. He was born in 1857 and died in 1924. His twenty years spent as a sailor in the British merchant navy inspired many of his literary works, among which Heart of Darkness is most highly acclaimed. In this episode of “Fall Asleep with Me”, I read this work’s opening scene. It takes place on the tranquil waters of the River Thames.

A Reflection on FRIENDS & Remembrance of Things PAST 26:20

1 year önce26:20

26:20

The inspiration for this episode is a sonnet–a Shakespearean sonnet–with which you’re unlikely to be familiar; Sonnet 30 , you see, isn’t commonly ranked among Shakespeare’s finest works. It’s neither read to romantic lovers, inscribed on elegant tombstones, nor quoted in popular films. Indeed, you’ll very seldom hear a recitation of its fourteen forgotten lines. And yet, to our purposes, my dear friend, I think it’s ideally suited. I hope that you enjoy this meditation on loss, regret, remorse, failure, and–that by which all sadness in life is wiped away–friends. Do me the honor, my dear friend, of “liking” this episode, subscribing to this channel for daily doses of mindfulness, and sharing it with a friend.…

A Meditation For A RAINY Day: Tracing The “History Of A Single Raindrop” 23:03

1 year önce23:03

23:03

“How interesting (it is) to trace the history of a single raindrop!” In this guided meditation, we’ll join the American outdoorsman, conservationist, and writer John Muir as we contemplate the dramatic life story of a single raindrop. Muir was a man of extraordinary depth. In this episode, we’ll accompany him to lofty poetic heights–high, in fact, as the craggy summits atop which he made his home–before following him and his raindrop down to the oceans, rivers, puddles, and flower cups in which they came to rest. I don’t know about you, but there’s nothing I enjoy better than watching the rain fall. It’s a divine spectacle of nature, a beautiful production of sound and movement than which there’s simply none more wondrous in all the world. Hopefully this mediation enhances what is, quite without my meager contribution, a transcendent experience. If I succeed, please give this episode a “thumbs-up” or a “five-star” rating. Share it with friends, colleagues, and loved ones. Return to it any time you’re stuck inside on a rainy day. And subscribe to this channel! You can now watch this episode on my YouTube channel. Just search, “Pneuma by Daniel Finneran” and immerse yourself in the stunning images. With affection, Daniel…

Four Quartets by TS Eliot | The Great Poems Of All Time 1:03:56

2 years önce1:03:56

1:03:56

Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888 - 1965) was an Anglo-American poet. A devout Christian, Eliot was an important figure in the Modernist movement that sprang to life in the first quarter of the 20th century. "Four Quartets", a uniquely sublime work by which all his other poems are eclipsed, addresses the theme of time. It's a theme on which, as you doubtless know, so many of our meditations here on Pneuma are based. I think that you'll enjoy it. Subscribe, like, leave a five-star rating, and share this with friends. Send me poem recommendations at pneuma.finneran@gmail.com Thank you!

“Footfalls Echo In The Memory”: How To Think About And Deal With REGRET 27:33

2 years önce27:33

27:33

Footfalls echo in the memory Down the passage which we did not take Toward the door we never opened Into the rose-garden. This is an excerpt from the first poem of TS Eliot’s masterpiece, “Four Quartets”. It is, in my opinion, the most memorable part of “Burnt Norton”. In this episode, we’re going to meditate on the theme that Eliot presents: Regret. Be sure to listen to my prior episode about remorse. What is the one thing you regret most? If you care to divulge, send me an email at pneuma.finneran@gmail.com or comment below. Be sure to visit my sister project, @finneranswake on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. I think you’ll really enjoy it; Finneran’s Wake is where I have deep, probing, provocative conversations with a multitude of extraordinary people from all walks of life. -Daniel…

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë | Fall Asleep With Me 33:02

Charlotte Brontë (nom de plume "Currer Bell") was an English novelist. She lived between 1816 - 1855. She was the eldest (and most gifted) of an immensely talented trio of sisters, which included Emily and Anne. Her most famous work, “Jane Eyre” is also one of the finest in the English language. In this episode of “Fall Asleep With Me”, I read one of my favorite scenes: that in which our eponymous heroine, Jane Eyre, encounters the dashing Mr. Rochester in the garden at dusk.

How to Think About and Deal with REMORSE, The “Poison Of Life” 24:22

2 years önce24:22

24:22

“Dread remorse when you are tempted to err, Miss Eyre; remorse is the poison of life.” In Charlotte Brontë’s 1847 masterpiece, “Jane Eyre”, Mr. Rochester issues this stark warning to young Jane, the novel’s titular character and heroine. In this episode, we’ll focus on remorse, contrast it with regret, and implement techniques to relieve us of its heavy burden. I ask you, dear friend and listener, which of the two do you think is worse: Remorse? Or regret? Share your thoughts in the comments section below, or send me an email at pneuma.finneran@gmail.com If you do, I’ll dedicate an entire episode to your thoughts. Be sure to visit my sister project, @finneranswake on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.
