The Spirituality in Soča and its Buddhist Echoes

https://thegentlelaw.wordpress.com

Simon Gregorčič (1844–1906), one of Slovenia's greatest poets, is known for his works steeped in national pride, nature, and deep spirituality. His poem Soča stands out as a lyrical tribute to the beauty and power of the Soča River, but it also embodies elements that resonate with Buddhist themes such as impermanence, the interconnectedness of all things, and mindfulness. This episode is dedicated to my good friend and subscriber Dominik, who introduced me to this wonderful and profound poet from his homeland.
