Remembering who we are through presence, practice, and community.
"You’re perfect the way you are. And you can use a little improvement.”
~ Suzuki Roshi
Being human can feel messy. If we look closely, we notice how much we long for free hearts. Yet the struggles we experience, if we're humble enough, call us inward.
We each have unique doorways to embodiment, freedom, and self-discovery. Cultivating a kind and authentic relationship with ourselves is universally possible and essential for development to occur.
We can learn to stop denying ourselves the sweetness of real compassion. We can develop a genuine friendship with ourselves. Path is the willingness to dismantle the armor and rigidity around our hearts and reestablish intimate contact with life as it is.
This is different from trying to think nice thoughts. For most people, this takes time and commitment. The commitment isn't fueled by obligation so much as longing and love. Longing and love uproot the causes and conditions of stress and suffering. What begins to emerge is a deeply happy presence that senses itself to be sufficient, whole, undefended, spontaneous, and free.
