Connection

The time and space of today issues an invitation to me: “Will you take a risk to be seen and known today?”   “Will you open your heart to know and see others?”  

I can choose to play it safe while I rush mindlessly from one moment to the next taking care of business and blindly passing by opportunities to connect.  I can hide quietly on the sidelines while I admiringly watch others dance through the day, stepping on each other’s toes and inviting relationship with one another.  I can bury my head in the sand and allow time to pass me by while I resignedly believe I am a victim of others lack of compassion and inability to reach out.  I can march forward pushing others out of the way while I ruthlessly conquer the obstacles I encounter.  Each of these routes ends in regret, loneliness, and pain.  Nowhere near the destination I have desired to reach. 

I courageously choose to say yes.  I will allow myself to be known while I stand firmly rooted in the adequacy of enough-ness.  I will open my heart to have curiosity about you, while I take time to carefully listen and respect your truth. I trust the creativity and spontaneity that flows between us and believe that together we can co-create a rich rapport and enjoyable connection.  Only this makes the journey truly satisfying.
