Living 'in communities' for 30+ years had also damaged me in some ways ....



Living 'in communities' for 30+ years has also damaged me in some ways, 
but I believe 'damage' is part of life.
If we go through life seeking only personal happiness and fulfilment  -
That is 'not ok' - it seems to me.
There is a deeper side of life which comes from living outside the comfort zone.
Growth resides in a place called 'uncomfortable'.

I believe in refreshing uncertainty.
Refreshing irritation.
Refreshing dissatisfaction.

I believe in relaxing, refreshing to regain fitness for the frontier - 
but that place, called comfortable, is no place to reside.

Some people give ten tips for success.
I never give tips.
I share where I am.
The stumbling I have experienced in the past.
The vulnerability, who I hold hands with - gladly.

Often vulnerability comes upon us without our choosing.
A greater connection with our vulnerability is
placing ourselves in it.
Residing in it.
Learning from it.

He who was rich became poor.
