Sunday in Hyde Park

What I learned from a stranger standing on a box speaking to no one

Hyde Park sits between several well known neighborhoods in London. On Sundays speakers bring out their soap boxes and share their opinions on a multitude of topics here at this small tip of Hyde Park known as ‘Speaker’s Corner’. Some are enthralling, others entertaining, and the rest inflammatory or just plain weird. Something for everyone.

Are any of these topics worth your time? Do any of the ideas or words matter? Are there any diamonds in the gravel? Just maybe, if you care to look and listen.

This episode recounts a trip I made a few years back to Speaker's Corner and encountered one such person named Pierce and the lesson he taught me without me even knowing he was imparting some profound wisdom. It was years later, just prior to this Thanksgiving that I dusted this memory off, and re-examined it. This time to find something new hidden in it.

What was hidden? What profound insight was buried in my encounter with Pierce? Take a listen and find out. I am sure it will present itself clear enough. I hope you enjoy this episode and get something out of it as well.
