"Life is rather like a tin of sardines - we're all of us looking for the key." -Alan Bennet
And the key is something that is very personal to each of us.  No one else can or will ever give it to you.

Never Stop. 01/13/2010
 
"Never stop. One always stops as soon as something is about to happen." ~Peter BrookI found myself getting upset for several days this week as new territory opened to me.  Stuckness and anger emerged and it left me wanting to run into a cave and not come out.  But I find that if I treat myself like a 5 year old and listen compassionately to where my anger is coming from I am able to step forward in small increments instead of dash away to a safe cave somewhere.  When I do this, more things that I want open up to me. Now that feels incredible. When are you running away?  Treat yourself with kindness when you want to run.  It means the vulnerable kid in you is asking to be heard in that particular situation.  We only continue to act like kids when we don't take the time to show that part of ourselves that everything is safe.

"Let the world change you, and you can change the world." - Che Guevara

Sometimes I find myself resisting change, especially when there is a feeling wrapped up in it that I don't want to let go of.  But what is that about? Because I am then closing myself to the experience of other wonderful things when I can't let go of something. When we find ourselves not able to "go with the flow"  sometimes it's helpful to remember that there are new 'feel goods' waiting for us to explore.
