Embracing Insouciance: A John Prine Shoutout

Today’s most empowering Shoutout Saturday to date goes to Folk Singer, John Prine, whose words ring like bells in my head.

“Blow up your TV, throw away your paper
Go to the country, build you a home.
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
Try and find Jesus on your own.”

Insouciance is a noun defining a casual lack of concern, nonchalance, or a carefree, lighthearted state, often implying a relaxed, untroubled attitude. It describes being unconcerned, sometimes to the point of neglecting expected seriousness, such as a “childlike insouciance” or “youthful insouciance”.

Nonchalance: A calm, unconcerned manner (e.g., “She managed the crisis with total nonchalance”).

A little John Prine insouciance and a cup of coffee on a Shoutout Saturday and I’m good to go.
