"...I believe that vulnerability- the willingness to show up and be seen with no guarantee of outcome- is the only path to more love, belonging, and joy."
- Dr. Brene Brown
Our challenge is in "showing up," being fully authentic. For me, this includes being afraid, not knowing the answer, sometimes not even knowing the questions. Being authentic, showing up, being real, entails loving the process. Fully engaging in the process of life with all its insecurity.
I have always valued being fully present. Presence for me is soul awareness. This soul awareness, this presence involves deep levels of listening, to myself, to others, to nature, to the "still small voice." Presence involves staying open to learning beyond my current identity, beyond my preconceptions of what is and is not, what should and what should not be. Presence involves letting go of my ego and my ego attachments. It involves letting go of control. Being fully present invites me to participate fully in the miracle of life.
