Otherwise it would be a journey of "other" discovery. It also seems to me that taking risks is a huge part of self discovery. Putting yourself out there is a huge risk. It's something I've been working on for the last couple of years and it's not easy. It's hard and it's scary and people don't always like what they see. I think sometimes when we get brave enough to say "here I am. This is me with all the warts and ugliness and beauty and fear and bravery and love for you to see" it makes people uncomfortable because they aren't used to it. Especially if it's not the persona you've been projecting your whole life. I'm running into that too. Sometimes we discover something about ourselves that is so cool and so unexpected that we have to share it. When other don't respond as enthusiastically to the discovery it's a little disappointing and we, or should I say I, want to crawl back into that place where it's dark and safe and hide some more instead of stepping out and living in the light. Sometimes what I discover is really, really ugly and again I want to crawl back and hide instead of letting the light burn away the ugliness. It's all a risk.

It’s all a risk.

I appreciate being able to get into your creative process here because I know that it is only in the process of things ... the active participation and/or creation ... that life is truly lived. You are a curious soul and I admire that. Bob,

Doing nothing is good for short periods of time. Sometimes I like to breathe on purpose. Just be totally aware of my breath and concentrate on just that. It makes me realize how tiny the "tyranny of the urgent" is. When something as small as a breath is the difference between me being here and not... It's worth stopping to enjoy. Stopping is good.
