honor it all

Are you seeking a life
free from fear
free from darkness?

You will not find it, my dear.
These emotions, these ebbs and flows --
they are central to what it is to be human.

Honor what arises
with a spirit of listening
a spirit of love.

There is no need to
resent what emerges
or attempt to maintain control.

Simply be present here
with kindness, with gentleness,
with humility and with trust.

gentleness

To be gentle with yourself
isn't weakness, my dear.

Can't you see?
There's actually incredible strength here.

inefficient

"In his youth Albert Einstein spent a year loafing aimlessly. 
You don't get anywhere by not 'wasting' time."

- Carlo Rovelli in Seven Brief Lessons on Physics

[thanks, Brother Nature]

Embrace the inefficiency. 

The meandering. The dabbling. The play. 

This creative life isn't meant to be too efficiency-obsessed, my dear.

faith

At times, it may look a lot like
stumbling in the darkness.

let go

one thing's for sure
all this gripping for control
ain't gonna help you
