offering help
so often i think about the ways we offer help.
when we are trying to be helpful but maybe don’t actually have the juice to give it
and sometimes its not even about the lack of willingness, but recognizing that we are just one being on this earth trying to do what is meant for us
it can be heartbreaking though, knowing that we can’t meet a need and knowing that our path is calling us a different direction
what i think can be so relieving for me, is when we are able to name these gaps in our capacities(1) by naming what is “scary honest(2).”
when we can get honest and real, we give each other the opportunity to love our “failures” and to love our true self.
it’s true that some will walk away from this form of intimacy, and some will walk towards it
it is all part of the great unfolding that is yearning us towards a deeper consciousness with what is our gift knowing our gift is what is part of a larger ecosystem
(1) a concept i first heard from Miki Kashtan. I recommend this packet to dive deeper into the concepts of the gap between vision and our capacities
(2) Friend and teacher Edmundo Norte likes to encourage us to try what he calls the scary honest as form of connection to self and connection to other
