For me, it has felt a process of exploring the gooey and prickly aspects of life. When I'm brought to an uncomfortable situation and my posture is challenged, I feel as my adventure has tenderized me to be calm in the storm.
I really like the way the phrase “posture is challenged” lands in my body. I can feel the domino chain kind of shivering before fall. Learning about the ways I have armored myself against life is such an important awareness.
I’m getting ready to be ready for change with a very green willingness to fail at it. It being, whatever comes through when I’m deep listening.
Last night, I was home alone, trying so so hard to be quiet and for fucks sake- LISTEN! I was hoping for something profound, but if I’m being honest- I’m not ready for profound.
What I got, for about an hour was Total Eclipse of The Heart on repeat in my head- a song that I’ve heard a zillion times.. what noticed was that I didn’t know the words as I tried to sing it. Maybe because I never really really listened? So, that’s what I did. I spent the next hour listening to Total Eclipse and learning every word.
I’m getting ready to be ready by practicing, that I can do.
I love the listening and this beautiful piece. I am very excited to see the flamingo. And this bird nerd did not know the shrimp thing and now too is curious about what happens if they eat fireflies!
You are not alone............ I did not know about the shrimp thing. Acceptance is the big one for me. Accepting things as they are and not wishing things could be different. I find apologising quite difficult as I then have to acknowledge the shame that I am not as good as I thought I was. Thank you for your words x
My word of the year is uncomfortable because I realized that expecting everything to be comfortable was making me a weiner. And apologizing and acknowledging I was careless or wrong is super uncomfortable. I am now slowly sliding into the realizing that I am both not as good as I thot and actually deliciously better than I will ever know.
Therefore in some of those other universe’s more endemic to growing one’s Being, lawful results can be realized by returning again and again, perhaps. So are the flamingos in that place observable at night due to their penchant for gorging on seasonal fireflies?
Excellent!

I love how much acceptance and tenderness is inside this sentiment. I think these are the crucial ingredients in the soup of growing true
Ha I'm going to have that song in my head all day now
