E1.1 - Three Weight-Bearing Words from Elif Shafak

Описание

In this Word Reflections episode, we revisit ideas from our conversation with Elif Shafak through three weight-bearing words: gurbet, kairos, and democracy. Some words carry more than definitions. They hold histories, experiences, ways of seeing the world, and questions that continue to shape how we live. Together, we explore the feeling of gurbet, a longing for home and belonging, the idea of kairos, the right or opportune moment, and the meaning of democracy in our lives today. This is not an interview. It is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and spend time with words that ask something of us. See you next Wednesday for our interview with musician Hak Baker.
