We all begin with the question “What am I, really? What is my work here?”*
Clarissa Pinkola Estés
We feel most comfortable when things are certain; but we feel most alive when they’re not.**
Tania Luna
We are not, finally, who we are today,
Any more than we were, finally, who we were
a year ago on this day.
Each day provides us with a day of becoming, both
for our inner lives of development
as well as the alchemistic ways that we connect
with our outer worlds.
We get to guide and shape this journey;
It’s quite a marvellous thing:
Each new day is a path of wonder,
a different invitation. …
Each day is the field of brightness where
the invitation of our life unfolds.^
The past is past, only the future exists,
Available in today’s present.
