This post is about spending time with ourselves, giving ourselves the attention we crave and getting close in to this person we know so well. And yet we are in flight from this self, distracting ourselves from simply being for so much of our day.
When was the last time you sat still and encountered yourself ? When did you last sit and appreciate what you are, what you bring, the gift that is you ?
I have noticed that people who are bringing themselves daringly to their lives are ones who are comfortable with themselves - to the point where they can mess up, they can create and they can put themselves on the line without it mortifying them when it goes wrong. I have noticed that when we spend some time with ourselves, get intimate with ourselves, we get to be more rebellious, and fuller expressions of the life that we are. Because taking risks makes sense, we know who we are and that the world around us doesn't have to determine how we feel about ourselves. That's our job.
