@sarahgrynberg and I fell into a deep space. She's an old soul who asks a question the way you'd shine a light into a corner.

Questions lead us to step outside of our comfort zones, outside of what we know to be true. We seek, we align with others on a similar quest, and we develop these relationships.

The beauty is that the answers we seek are usually not the answers we find. They are the treasures we discover when we are present with ourselves and others. They are the result of giving attention rather than getting attention. (More on this idea in a future post!)

✨🌬Simple as a Fish 🐠✨
I’ve been a fish: in search of bottom when I’ve surfaced, in search of surface when I’ve bottomed, and the ribbon of God’s sea passing through my gills is what I’ve felt and thought and spoken.
— A simple fish nosing it’s way along the bottom is in itself a profound teacher, and like the deepest teachers, it doesn’t even know it is teaching. Yet in its tiny, efficient gill lives the mystery of how to live as a spirit on Earth.
As we all know, by swimming, the smallest fish takes in water, and it’s gill turns that water into the air by which it lives. Though there are biological details that explain the mechanics of this, it is, in essence, a mystery.
The question is, What in us is our gill? Our heart, our mind, our spirit, a mix of all three? Whatever it is, like the smallest fish, we must turn water into air in order to live, which for us means turning our experience into something that can sustain us. It means turning pain into wonder, heartache into joy.
Nothing else matters, and just like fish we must keep swimming to stay alive. We must keep swimming through the days. We cannot stop the flow of experience or the need to take it in. Rather, all our efforts must go into learning the secret of the gill, the secret of transforming what we go through into air. So, what is your gill? For me, it is my heart, and love becomes the unseeable trail I leave behind. But whatever it might be for you, it is more important to swim through the days and honor the gill inside you than to figure out how it all works.

Enthusiasm is not a mood that can be willed or forced. Rather, it is the ripple that follows the stone. It can only be felt after we immerse ourselves in life.

“If courageous enough, we might just slow down to the pace of creation, where the pulse by which the mind thinks touches the pulse by which the heart feels, and together they equal the rhythm of miracle: where being plays in exact motion with all being.” - Mark Nepo

Creation and I danced tonight, to the pulse of this sunset.

I was 19 or 20 years old when, on a walk and a whim, I went into the old Borders that used to be on Mill Avenue. I found The Book of Awakening by Mark Nepo. I bought it and took it home, poring over the pages. I was still shellshocked from a series of events that had led me to that moment, and still quite green from the fanatical bubble in which I'd been raised. I couldn't digest all of it, but even then, I recognized the profundity of Nepo's words. Throughout the years, through tragedy, therapy, and triumphs, I've reread The Book of Awakening. I've given it away nearly a dozen times. In a way, Nepo helped point me in the direction of where I am today: striving for self compassion, self acceptance, and authenticity.
