Befriending life as it arises, in ourselves and others.

Remembering blue blossoms in December.

Reflections from Rachel Naomi Remen:

I’ve spent many years learning how to fix life, only to discover at the end of the day that life is not broken. There is a seed of greater wholeness in everyone and everything. We serve life best when we water and befriend it. When we listen before we act.

In befriending life, we do not make things happen according to our own design. We uncover something that is already happening in us and around us and create conditions to enable it. Everything is moving toward its place of wholeness…Befriending life is more about harmlessness than control. Harmlessness requires connection. It means listening to life from a place in us that is connected to the wholeness around us. The place in us that is also whole.
