what i would like to say to you . . .
every day i wake up and sort through the words of wisdom that have found their way into my inbox overnight.
words of encouragement and inspiration, of laughter and hope, sometimes even of sadness.
my brain sifts through them one by one, trying to sort and file and reframe. trying to make sense of it all. trying to incorporate others' experiences into my own.
some days i feel open and elevated, grateful for the intellectual stretches the words allow me.
other days i simply feel bombarded. engulfed and consumed by too much information, until i can't take any more in. what's already there needs time to incubate, to assimilate.
we are endlessly learning from each other. the give-and-take in an ordinary day is sacred and essential.
but there are times when silence and solitude is what is needed most. a solo journey to discover one's deep essence becomes the paramount task.
what i would like to say to you . . .
be aware of your unique rhythms and needs
identify with others but set your own course
discover the fuel that propels you forward
be at least a little brave each day
do not hesitate to stretch your limits
reach higher than you can grasp right now
marvel at your inevitable progress
