As the Persian poet Saadi said: 'If you wish to find the Truth, dive into the ocean. But if you prefer security, stay upon the shore' In truth, many others are jealous of a person who does not fear to leave security behind. Be truthful to your inner desires and motivations to create - let yourself be the driving force. Enjoy the journey!

I would be remiss if I didn’t observe patterns here. First, I am quick to feel that I am being put down. Second, I amplify and internalize the put down, letting it define me. And/or third, I try to fend off the internalization by seeing the put-downer as a monster. P.S. I would be remiss if I didn’t observe patterns here.

I like your point about when it is shared in art. As a writer, I was trained to process the hell out of that raw material, to the point where it is unrecognizable. But I believe you are right. It allows for a true connection, and I think it also frees up the energy that might have otherwise been stuck in a knot. Thank you for your insight, S! Indeed.

I had never heard the term before. But I'm thinking that when this is shared, as was done in the example, it seems like one of the few ways that we really connect. Truly connect. Whether it's between two chums, a speaker and an audience, a reader and an author (or an artist, musician, etc.) it is inevitably the moment where you tune in. No more day-dreaming or glazed eyes-you become present instantly. Right? Was thinking about radical acceptance. I had never heard the term before.
