My daughter has a book that is entitled “What if…? Then we…” (by Rebecca Kai Dotlick). My favorite line says “What if… every crayon in the world melted? Then we would grab our pencils and fall in love with gray.” The next day, I was doing my daily (ok- my goal is daily- let’s be honest- that’s not always how it goes) yoga and the teacher was reflecting on the yogic tradition of being “strong and soft” at the same time. The rest of the practice, day and now days… I’ve meditated on the idea of “falling in love with AND.” Here is what I envision.
How can I be…
Balanced AND strong
Scared AND brave
Strong AND soft
Powerful AND kind
How can I fall in love with AND?
