“We do not think ourselves into new ways of living, we live ourselves into new ways of thinking.”
Richard Rohr
I've been thinking about this and getting bogged down trying to write something so this is my last try...
I have faith that it is okay to not know a thing. Knowing gives the ego something to cling to and it get so loud defending what it knows that it can't hear anything else. Where I am most emphatic that I am right is where I can learn the most. And living is not about knowing, it is about learning and experiencing. That's what I want it to be about for me anyways... open to wonder, love and adventure
Cheers
