“Turn your face to the sun and the shadows will fall behind you.”

A very yogic quote, somehow.

Not denying the shadows. Not fighting them. Just not letting them decide which way you face.

Accepting that the shadows are still there, they’re just no longer where you’re looking.

In this episode we connect the quote to vairagya, to pratipaksha, to the yoga pose Utkatasana and even to Plato.

And, even more remarkably, for the first time we also manage to get Swedish poet-slash-rockstar Lars Winnerbäck into the podcast. Referring to his song Solen i ögonen (Sun in Your Eyes)…

“We’ve got the sun in our eyes
and spilled milk everywhere…
...but still, the shadows are behind us.”

It's time for episode 90 of THE LIFE CLUB • All the Quotes We Love to Quote, hosted as always by Nidhi Garg and Magnus Zaar.
