Of Goals, Self-Love and Monarch Butterflies
Beyond all the goals, resolutions, and plans for the future, you — just as you are today — are worthy of love and acceptance.
Mine Yours and Ours
Beyond all the goals, resolutions, and plans for the future, you — just as you are today — are worthy of love and acceptance.
Underneath we’re all the same, perfectly imperfect, doing what we can, making our way through life, searching for a warm blanket and a tender hand to hold.
If we truly desire to quell the terror of the world, we must first have the courage to meet our own fear with love and compassion.
We don’t overcome loneliness, we learn to embrace it. In the arms of self-love, loneliness slowly loosens its grip, and we realize that we’re not alone.
In spiritual practice we aren’t learning how to turn off our emotions: that’s not real. Instead we’re learning the skills to be okay while we feel them.
Perhaps what we lose as we grow up is the agreement that life is full of possibility – that we can fly… and that we deserve to.
