If You Want a True Friend Just open your hands and say "I don't know." Say it softly and wait, so your other can see that you mean it. Give them a chance to drop what they think is secret. Let them come up with a cup of what matters from the spring they show no one. Let them sigh and admit that they don't know either. Then you can begin with nothing in the way. Go on. Admit to the throb you carry in your heart. And let the journey begin. -by Mark Nepo, from The Way Under the Way Dana Wyss Healing Arts Breathe deeply, practice often, be well. http://www.danawyss.com/ Image / Bessi via Pixabay
Sometimes if you move carefully through the forest breathing like the ones in the old stories who could cross a shimmering bed of dry leaves without a sound, you come to a place whose only task is to trouble you with tiny but frightening requests conceived out of nowhere but in this place beginning to lead everywhere. Requests to stop what you are doing right now, and to stop what you are becoming while you do it, questions that can make or unmake a life, questions that have patiently waited for you, questions that have no right to go away. - David Whyte, "Sometimes", from Everything Is Waiting for You Dana Wyss Healing Arts Breathe deeply, practice often, be well. http://www.danawyss.com/ |
