In this heartfelt episode of the Infinitely Precious podcast, James Henry returns after a brief hiatus due to his father’s hospitalization and shares a deeply personal reflection on presence, connection, and the wisdom of friends. He recounts the emotional challenges of navigating medical uncertainty and how a friend’s reminder helped him shift from worrying about outcomes to embracing the present moment. Through his week spent at his father’s bedside—listening, sharing silence, and simply being—James offers a moving meditation on the transformative power of presence. He invites listeners to consider their own capacity to be fully present with loved ones and strangers alike, and to seek out spiritual community and practices that ground them in the here and now.
