Episode 61 – The High Contrast Life

A one-degree morning, a neighbor with a snowblower, and the quiet satisfaction of shoveling anyway set the stage for a meditation on effort, discomfort, and why doing things the hard way sometimes matters. What begins as a reflection on snow shoveling turns into something larger: a portrait of Michigan as a place defined by extremes.
