From Peloton Magazine. A great article that could be applied to most anything. These words really resonated with me. Letting go is what we do when the acrobatics that we’ve been performing to protect our carefully constructed self identities are no longer working.

Sometimes…
Sometimes I look around knowingly that the world is larger than my street.

My wife, my son, myContinue reading “Sometimes…”

Change of Seasons
Birthdays. A new one was a few days ago. Nothing like one, passing of a decade, to wake oneself up. Going through that now. I look forward to what’s ahead. I look back and see many footprints to where I am now. Though we have relationships, friendships, this journey one we all make alone, withinContinue reading “Change of Seasons”
