slow down
because you can’t take the hairpin turn at full speed
slow down
it’s a reminder – another way to say it practice pausing
what does it look like to practice everyday?
everything is practice – Periander
Everyday I have an opportunity to practice. For me it’s learning a language, practicing yoga, showing up in my painting studio or simply learning how to practice pausing.
I need to keep in mind what the definition of practice is – practice means, training, rehearsal, repetition.
The question, what does it look like to practice everyday? The answer has to be show up, even when I don’t feel like it. I’m a practitioner.
hope along the path
let there be hope along the path – you don’t need a lot of light but just enough so you don’t feel like you’re stuck in darkness.
if you give people light, they will find their own way Dante Alighieri
Seek the wisdom that will untie your knot. Seek the path that demands your whole being. Rumi
the pain will fade
Sometimes it feels like our light has been covered up, when the hard moments of life, keep coming our way. Our job is to find the small moments of joy, and work on removing the rumble that has piled up within us.
And maybe, the pain will fade and our light will shine. That is my hope.
The only thing I know is this: I am full of wounds and still standing on my feet. Nikos Kazantzakis
