What evidence in our own lives reveal that more lies beyond the material world? Do the purest spirits die younger than the rest of us? What signs show us our beloved dead are speaking?

On episode 2.4 of FLOWERS FOR LINDA, a podcast on grief & creativity, I sat down with Cavalier, poetic MC, creative powerhouse, wickedly engaging storyteller and, as his instagram says, "Obeah Man and Archeologist in a gentrified world." Attuned to uncanny moments as precious clues, Cav speaks the language of spirit, and in turn, receives messages that feel undeniable in their alignment and clarity. We even had a few ourselves during the making of this podcast— dreams of the beloved dead's homeland, timing of texts, old photographs magically resurfacing.

In this captivating episode, Cav brings two friends into focus: the walking sunshine who is Amy, and the other worldly named Mugadu. Each no longer on this earthly plane, Cav reanimates them with love, wonder, honesty and stories of synchronicities that add to my belief that the material world is just one, quite limited, vantage point in the vast possibility of sight beyond the eyes. Picking up these clues, Cav's beloved dead walk with him through life, art, creativity. 

For something like two decades, Cav has been a creative inspiration and cherished friend of mine. He has always been skilled at bringing together people who will love each other in shared space, and this conversation is no exception. I loved meeting Amy, poet, soap maker, baker, clove smoker and bringer of light, and re-meeting Mugadu, a master of visuals and Kemetic yogi, through Cav's compelling storytelling. I'm so proud to share them with you. I hope you'll sit with us. You can find this episode wherever you get your podcasts.
