::allowing::
i have asked this notion to be a present companion
this next time around the sun
and within this framework my hope is to welcome,
my intention is to trust.
beckoning courage to be gentle with myself.
allowing what is to be.
to neither forbid nor prevent.
i love the ideas found in synonym, that also lend perspective on what this notion may mean along the way:
admitt
acknowledge
approve
authorize
be game for
commission
consent
empower
free up
grant permission
give the go ahead
indulge
let
okay
pass on
recognize
release
this notion of failure
and the fear of it
binds
creating stagnation
motionlessness
what if…
what if there is no such thing
even more so when ones life is lived for the good of the world
what if any move that is made toward serving the world
is victory
each step forward a gift
even if full fruit is not born
there is no lesser action than inaction
in the act of not acting is where this notion of “failure” is is most likely found
so risk may be the only option
and what if…
instead of constructing a framework of “risk”
we may see each step as a beautiful and wild adventure
