  • Summary

  • This episode features two short pieces reflecting on the my adventurous life and evolving sense of beauty. Inspired by a childhood admiration for fearless characters like Nancy Drew and the free spirit of wild horses, I share experiences of traveling and exploring diverse cultures in the Middle East during the 70s and 80s. Despite not viewing myself as particularly brave, my willingness to embrace new experiences paints a picture of a life led by intuition and a belief in inherent goodness. Next a contemplation of beauty, shifting from physical appearance to a deeper, internal essence discovered through poetry and personal acceptance. This introspection leads to a realization that true beauty is felt within the heart and soul, contrasting what is visible in the mirror with an inner happiness and wisdom that continues to grow.

    Now That You Ask is a podcast that looks at topics that range from death to desire, and from wondrous to downright whacky. Join host, Akasha Halsey as she takes listeners on a journey through her writing and experience with life’s most persistent questions.
