If writing,
write.
If driving,
drive.
If listening,
hear.
If looking,
see.
If doing,
do.
If being,
be present.
(I guess that’s the point - be present or your life passes by without you in it.)
LOSING FEAR
The fear
of losing it all
led
to missing much of it all.
FAST MOVER
Typically,
I’m moving so fast
I cannot
see,
blind to
joy and beauty.
To see, one must look.
To look one must stop.
To stop, one must trust.
SELF-RENOVATION

WHAT WAS
And when
he let go of what was
supposed to be

“All you need to do is show up.”

“Showing up is the most difficult work.”

Rough edges
make interesting pictures
but not good
sleeping partners.
WHAT MATTERS
What truly
matters
cannot be
accounted.
LEARNING TO LET GO
Learning to let go
is …
everything.
