What is enough for me? Enough to fill me up, to feel love and connection. Enough to feel alive and authentic? 

“Enough” lands so gently and tenderly this morning. I don’t have to force myself to do less of anything. I don’t have to eat less, consume less, fly less to support the planet. I can trust that doing what’s enough for me, will honor everyone and everything around me also. When I eat enough, consume enough, fly enough, it will be an amount that’s not too much for the earth to handle. I believe that deeply.

Looking at it from the other side, it has the same effect of warm relief and tenderness too. I can work enough. Rest enough. Dream enough. Feel enough. The gentle humility that springs forth from that is not one I have to force. It’s a joy and a relief to do just what’s enough. Then, as a result, I am enough. Because my actions were enough. Because everything I do is always enough of it. So I can rest assured that I am too, just that, enough. Enough to be worthy of love, connection, aliveness. 

Enough is always enough, no matter the amount. What a joy.

    Life advice from a book about raising dogs

    I don’t have a dog. I’m thinking regularly about getting a dog as part of the intentional community I want to live. I realized how much I dislike the way my dad is raising his dog. There are commands, positive reinforcement, walks, all the usual stuff I’ve heard hundreds of times before when people talk […]

    Radical Presence – An 8 Week Program to create a life you will mostly hate, occasionally love & definitely not feel indifferent about anymore

    This is the saddest picture of me on the internet. I think it’s also the most honest one. When I see this picture, I feel happy and scared, because, with the help of the photographer who took it, I didn’t “modify” my facial expression in any way. I just let it hang loose and this […]
