2025-04-13 – Serenity Now! – Five Minutes with Robert & Amy Nasir – Ep 257
In which Robert & Amy find peace with the metaphysical … and the man-made. Wisdom from Ayn Rand’s essay on the primacy of existence. Current events, past events, and keeping your cool, even when one of your oxygen tanks explodes. The great men & women who remind us that great men & women exist, then and now. Also, the irreplaceable role, value, and power of great art. Metaphysics & mindfulness, and peach cobbler … Let’s Stay Together!
