A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled upon a blog that will soon force me to buy stock in every facial tissue company in the universe. It’s not just the story that’s a tear jerker; it’s that every post is so intimate and bare and challenging to my capacity for love. The author writes from the heart, with heart, and to heart. Not in a cliche way by any stretch, mind you. She’s simply very, very real.
For many of us, there is a daily shift in our ability to be and remain open: to be stretched out – mind, body, and spirit. Sometimes this shift is huge, sometimes its so small that we can barely feel a tremor. But we’re constantly being called to it. I am both inspired and brought to my knees by those of you out there who can remain so undeniably honest in that shift and welcome it. I truly strive to be more like you, and I’d like to say that I welcome it but…it’s also kind of scary, don’t you think, because some days are easier than others and some challenges are hard. To remain true to the knowledge that life is this amazing teacher is, well, everything. In the face of those challenges, the author of the blog says, “Nothing else changes from the foundation of who we are.”
Powerful.
“Every time I begin to sink, I remind myself that I’m a rockstar.”
Very powerful.
“And rockstars know that life is beautiful.”
What else could I possibly add?
Well, I will add this: When you’re thinking that you have less, you actually have more. More of what you might ask?
Yep, you might ask that. Why don’t you?
