Showing Up

“When we run from life, try to manage life, or leave our energy scattered here and there, we feel differently than when our whole self shows up with our thoughts, words, and actions congruent and unified. When we are centered in the moment, we can fully meet the ordinariness of life as well as the challenges of life.”

“There is no need tame ourselves or hide ourselves. “All of us” shows up to the moment, ready to meet it in truth and integrity, ready to make full contact. Meeting the moment “full on” is like playing a contact sport. We aren’t afraid to play the game with everything we have or to get knocked around a little in the process; it’s all part of the fun.”
