possibility: like a bird

on the wire...

THIS BRIEF LIFETIME

How are we going to spend this brief lifetime?

Are we going to strengthen our well-perfected ability to struggle against uncertainty, or are we going to train in letting go?

Are we going to hold on stubbornly to “I’m like this and you’re like that”?

Or are we going to move beyond that narrow mind?

Could we start to train as a warrior, aspiring to reconnect with the natural flexibility of our being and to help others do the same?

If we start to move in this direction, limitless possibilities will begin to open up.
