I am your guide to help you learn to tread lightly on the earth and tread deeply in your life.
I believe that if we do not do the hard work of inner transformation for ourselves, and ultimately, our species, the hard outer work of supporting our world will not be sustainable. We must embrace a maturing of our consciousness from feeling powerless & overwhelmed with the complexity of the problems in the world to being engaged and connected becoming an instrument for collective healing. At the same time, if we do not create this inner work in such a way that feels authentically good & is relatively playful & fun, we won’t do the work. Our laziness and fearfulness will overcome us.
I hope to help you clarify your sense of self–who am I; your sense of place–where am I; your sense of belonging–with whom am I; and your sense of reverence–why am I. I believe that we are now ready to move from acedia to activism.
I am a wisdom curator exploring wonder and why:
Wonder (curiosity): to wonder is to acknowledge one’s ignorance, not in a state of despair or passivity, but in the pleasurable pursuit of further knowledge.
Wonder (awe): to be in the presence of something vast that transcends our understanding of the world. Awe’s gift is that it doesn’t always make us happy, but it renders us more fully alive.
Why (purpose): “We ache to touch intimately what is real, to find the marriage of meaning and matter in our lives and in the world. We ache to feel and express the fire of being fully alive.” – Oriah Mountain Dreamer
Why (wisdom & understanding): We become wise when we see with understanding through the eyes of ethics, principle, memory of the past and projection into the future.
