Every conversation. Every interaction. Every experience has a mirror for me. If we are crossing paths, there is a piece of you in me. Somewhere, I am that same man or woman or child. Somewhere, I have that same wound, that same joy, that same expansion and healing.

The question that I was thinking about wasn’t the one that came from my mouth. I was expecting to ask a question about the universe and an experience I had about a month ago. Instead, what came from my mouth was “what if I made all of this up (meaning interacting with him)? What if none of this is real?”

Sometimes, looking at something from a different angel is important, you see different things. Sometimes, you even see something that you didn’t realize was there. So, I try to find myself in child pose on random floors in my reality, both figuratively and literally.

Your past doesn’t have to define you. It once served you but it may no longer serve you and if that is the case then feel free to make a new reality.

We lay on the driveway and chatted about silly things. It felt like a sleepover from elementary school only better because we didn’t have to go to bed early and mom never told us to quiet down.

My son walked into my bedroom to ask me something and absolutely everything shifted. I had been focusing on one specific visual and as soon as he walked into the room the colors of my visual changed and the shapes changed.

The whole time I had been blaming the dryer when in fact there was nothing wrong with the dryer at all. I had jumped through hoops trying to get the dryer to function better, only to realize that the dryer was perfectly fine and the issue was that the washer wasn’t doing its part of co-creating clean laundry.

Sometimes, I think about my parents and I wonder to myself. “How the fuck did you sign up to parent this?”

You see, it doesn’t work like that. If you want to build strength it needs to come from within you. Your body must do the work to build strength. Me doing the work for you will not actually create additional muscle strength. I literally can’t build the strength for you.

Today, I was walking my woods loop backwards. I knew that I was stuck on something and I needed to see it from a different viewpoint. So, I walked my loop backwards knowing that it would force my brain to look at the issue differently.
