That place where failure is possible
and discomfort likely...
yes, go there.

This isn't about control.
It isn't about clinging tightly
to some desired path.
This is opening to the possibility
that life beyond your control
is good and precisely what you need.
It's to be trusted, rather than feared.
This is surrendering to the absence
of a clear conclusion.
It's the humility to say -- I don't know
and the willingness to accept -- I don't have to.
This is choosing to step into the uncertainty
instead of running away from it.
It's leaning into vulnerability
instead of choosing to flee.
This is opening to the fullness of being human,
welcoming that spectrum of thoughts, emotions and feelings --
messy as they may be --
instead of brushing them aside with shame.
This is experiencing the inconclusive nature of life,
and sharing the unfinished pieces
because that...
that is the essence of this, my dear.
