We can touch

When we hear ourselves say, “Now is not the time,” we do well to look deeper: it is evidence that fear is at work in us. We can face our fears and say “Now is the time” and find it was not so difficult as our fears made it out to be. Here is our opportunity to get past the debilitating fear that keeps us stuck.

Those who live live. They jump in. Naked in soul.
:- Doug.
It is not vulnerability itself that is required of us, but proceeding in the face of woundability. Naked in soul.
:- Doug.
Vulnerability meets touching the wheel. Dare to converse. To jump in. To say your truth. Put it at risk. Put you at risk. It is your humanity, it is what draws persons and animals to you.
