The Unfolding That Cannot Be Contained

Before I move on to a post about the Third Prac­tice (Self-Care), I want to explore a ques­tion that has been sim­mer­ing for a cou­ple days in con­ver­sa­tions with my great friend and col­league, Jay How­ell.

But the ques­tion is, how can we describe this so that it is eas­i­er to see the path we are walk­ing? In this… Con­tin­ue read­ing Myself an Offer­ing to Myself and Oth­er Thoughts
