Vulnerability

I am listening for the clear signals amidst the noise - for the dreams that keep dreaming us forward by day and night...for that which makes me vulnerable, opening me to all that I don't want to feel, but will feel because I must contribute to the world in a just and compassionate way. 

“Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.” 
― Langston Hughes

It takes vulnerability to keep dreaming and to keep the heart open to feeling EVERYTHING. We are all made vulnerable if we are willing to have our hearts cracked open by life. We are cracked open by vulnerabilities in our physical bodies - illness, injury, age - in our emotional and mental bodies - anxiety, fear, depression, despair, confusion - in our spirit bodies - abuse of all kinds, loss - and in the collective body - seeing, feeling, experiencing the suffering of and injustice towards others, human and non-human.

This is not weakness. Instead of weakening and breaking us down, these vulnerabilities break us open and open the portals through which we perceive what is happening, what is needed and what we can do. Hold fast to your dreams. Fly into and through the storms. Come back home to rest. Take care.

With Love,
Jennifer
