Each Step is One in The Right Direction

Whole. Complete. Perfect

“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to deci...de whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both.”

So much to tell you about this weekend's race!

I'm enlightened, and happy.

I'm whole, complete and perfect.

This is it, and IT is perfect.

I'm learning how to be in the world as it is and as it isn't.

I can actually be present in life. I can go into a conversation without having any
pre-concieved judgements.

I can empower people and be empowered by listening.

Each and every moment, I can re-invent myself from nothing.

As soon as I declare something, I can be it. Even if I don't know how I am going to do it. Do you think Ghandi knew how he was going to free India before he did it?

Feelings are experiences and they don't have to overwhelm me. I had my first real 'feeling' since Sunday--one that wasn't elation. Normally it would overwhelm me and define me as a person, but I was able to get myself present again.

Life is good.

I might run a half marathon instead of a full marathon though--the breathing thing isn't really working out so far this winter.

Thanks for reading,

Emily

This is it, and it's perfect. From nothing, who I am, right now is the possibility of being present and courageous.
