    I've watched this like 15 times, and I genuinely laugh out loud every time I hear these two joking about the line: "De Capo. That's a huge one! I mean, I've heard of it." Never fails. Wish I had the chance to meet Mark. His personality shines so bright in this podcast. Thank you Joseph Arthur for sharing this with the world.

    Dear Joseph we met briefly yesterday after the beautiful and moving show you made in Tourcoing north of France and expressed how honoured I was to be here. I so relate to what you express about self compassion, gratitude, presence and love. The music you produce has been of tremendous help for me, and now the words you say in your vids are a formidable encouragement to keep diving into the holy present moment. Meeting you, the smile and kindness you offered made me write a song again and made me keep on pursuing my dreams. I am a young man of 50 now and have the spirit faith and heart of a 25 yo, with a fire burning inside. Thank you is definitely my mantra , as I wrote about gratitude and love the day after. Thank you so much, I know I will stumble again but i will rise no matter what. See you in September. Sebastian
