Learning to be vulnerable

If there is a reason to be alive, right now I would say it’s to be vulnerable enough to connect.

Learning to live in that uneasy space where saying something or doing something that might be the wrong thing is worth doing, because it’s a sincere attempt to connect.

Learning to live as physically aware as possible. Finding that elusive edge where senses are more prevalent than thoughts. Knowing existence as ever-changing sensations, rich with depth and energy; and noticing how impossible it all is to control, and how that can be OK.

Learning to keep making the effort to communicate, finding ways to understand how it appears from other perspectives - always trying to stay open.
