By outward metrics, everything appeared successful. But inwardly, things weren’t pretty. So he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words: “Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life.” It wasn’t the response he expected, but it continues to be the answer he needs.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Too often we treat the symptoms of toxicity in our modern world instead of trying to pinpoint the cause. A growing number of voices are pointing at hurry, or busyness as a root of much evil. Within the pages of this book, you’ll find a compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favor of a slower, simpler way of life.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding=”0|0px|0|0px|false|false” _builder_version=”3.18.8″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.18.8″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/storycollective.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/elimination_of_hurry_specs.jpg” _builder_version=”3.18.8″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding=”80px|0px|0|0px|false|false” module_id=”MUSIC” _builder_version=”3.18.8″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.18.8″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.18.8″ header_font=”||||||||” header_font_size_phone=”25px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding=”0|0px|27px|0px|false|false” padding_top_1=”25px” padding_top_2=”60px” padding_right_1=”25px” padding_right_2=”25px” padding_bottom_1=”25px” padding_bottom_2=”25px” padding_left_1=”25px” padding_left_2=”25px” _builder_version=”3.18.8″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.18.8″ padding_bottom=”25px” padding_left=”25px” padding_right=”25px” padding_top=”25px” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/storycollective.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/bon_iver.jpg” _builder_version=”3.18.8″ custom_margin_phone=”||-60px” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.18.8″ padding_bottom=”25px” padding_left=”25px” padding_right=”25px” padding_top=”60px” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.18.8″]<\/p>\n Bon Iver, Bon Iver<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Bon Iver<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The guy who recorded an album alone in the woods. This line might end up on Justin Vernon’s \u2018Bon Iver\u2019 tombstone. There’s something irresistible about the thought of a bearded dude from small-town Wisconsin retreating, heartbroken, to a cabin to write some songs – especially when the result is a record that sounds as hushed and introspective as Bon Iver’s 2007 debut, For Emma, Forever Ago. These days, Vernon is more likely to poke fun at the image, but it endures because it fulfils a fantasy for us as listeners. Even if we don’t care for the outdoors, most of us occasionally want to escape our lives, be alone with our thoughts, and see if we can tap into something true. In a time of easy distraction, the idea of heading into a cabin at the edge of the world to create is alluring. By tying the intimacy of that image to Justin Vernon’s music, we’re able to take the trip with him.<\/span><\/p>\n By Mark Richardson, Pitchfork<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding=”0|0px|27px|0px|false|false” padding_top_1=”25px” padding_top_2=”60px” padding_right_1=”25px” padding_right_2=”25px” padding_bottom_1=”25px” padding_bottom_2=”25px” padding_left_1=”25px” padding_left_2=”25px” _builder_version=”3.18.8″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.18.8″ padding_bottom=”25px” padding_left=”25px” padding_right=”25px” padding_top=”25px” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/storycollective.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mumford_delta_02.jpg” _builder_version=”3.18.8″ custom_margin_phone=”-50px||-100px” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.18.8″ padding_bottom=”25px” padding_left=”25px” padding_right=”25px” padding_top=”60px” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.18.8″]<\/p>\n Delta<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Mumford & Sons<\/span><\/p>\n With Wilder Mind Mumford & Sons went electric, ditching the banjos and acoustic guitars for a more plugged-in sound. Those instruments return on their fourth album, but a whole lot more has been added to the palette. Delta is their boldest collection to date, marrying their intimate introspection and massive hooks with restless musical curiosity. \u201cI remember when we first played Wilder Mind to our booking agent in the States,\u201d Marcus Mumford told Beats 1 host Zane Lowe. \u201cHis first comment was, \u2018Now you guys can do whatever you want. You\u2019re not the banjo band anymore.\u2019 It was probably a bit reactionary from us: \u2018Let\u2019s do it without these acoustic instruments in our hands.\u2019 And I guess, on this record, it felt like, \u2018Look, let\u2019s just not restrict ourselves at all. Let\u2019s use whatever powers we have, whatever kind of instrumentation we have, and let\u2019s try and do the best we can with it.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n By Editor\u2019s Notes<\/span>, Apple Music<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/storycollective.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/82"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/storycollective.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/storycollective.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storycollective.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storycollective.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/storycollective.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/82\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1120,"href":"https:\/\/storycollective.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/82\/revisions\/1120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/storycollective.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}BOOKS<\/h1>\n
<\/span>In <\/span>Garden City<\/span><\/i>, John Mark Comer gives a fresh take on our calling and our purpose, with a surprisingly counter-culture take. Through his creative and conversational style, Comer takes a good look at the book of Genesis and the story of a man, a woman, and a garden. He unpacks God\u2019s creation and his original intent for how we are meant to spend our time. Here, you\u2019ll find answers to questions like \u201cDoes God care where I work?\u201d\u00a0 \u201cWhat about what I do with my free time or how much rest I get?\u201d \u201cDoes he have a clear direction for me?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
