I really liked your last line: Understand is a verb and not a destination.

Thanks! I wondered whether it was a bit cheesy, glad you didn't think so.

@@KrisHughes Not cheesy at all. It made its way into my commonplace book 😊

I'm interested in the myth you're talking about, but I don't understand much because I still lack English. But I know how good your videos are. I will study more and understand it well. Thank you always for the good video.

What deities do is often in the realm of metaphor.

Great video.

This is a really good video. Thank you. Do people still say 'grok'? - 'Cerridwen is the mother of Awen first and foremost' ❤️ - 'not just a bit of rambling self expression ' ❤ not enough room to unpack my thoughts on this. - myths 'force us to consider things much more deeply...' YES There is an internal reward for patient contemplation. Reminds me of Entish for some reason.

Thank you! Funnily enough, I heard someone say 'grok' the other day. I'm pleased that you got so much out of this. I feel like some of my recent videos have been a bit preachy - but I've got stuff to say!

Preach, sister

Should put some of these words on the screen so I know how to spell them to do more research. It's cool if u can't edit though. Love your channel

I think most of them are on the screen, the first time I say them. If there's something in particular, give me a time stamp and I'll write it here.
