mostly unafraid

Why are you so afraid of yourself, of changing things? Try to detach yourself from yourself and try to see your own viewpoint from the outside, objectively. You are afraid of losing your balance. But change need not unbalance you; life’s not a static object, after all. It’s a process. There’s no holding still. Intellectually you know that, but emotionally you refuse it. Nothing remains the same from one moment to the next, you can’t step into the same river twice. Life- evolution- the whole universe of space/time, matter/energy- existence itself- is essentially change. When things don’t change any longer, that’s the end result of entropy, the heat-death of the universe. The more things go on moving, interrelating, conflicting, changing, the less balance there is- and the more life.

~Ursula K. Le Guin

how life has moved with me…

inquiry for today~ when it’s ok to just be messy….

my heart found peace…

The dark night heightens our connections to all living beings.

In a dark night, I feel deeply the sorrow- as well as the joy- of the other.

It may be dark in here, but it’s full of love.
