Let's Get Uncomfortable
My uncle and I shared in an amazing exchange the other day. I haven't been able to stop thinking about the carefulness of his words and the delicacy of his questions; yet, they were Thunderous in their Intent and Lightning in unveiling of Truth. The Truth about Marriage, Family and Love. In the moment, I didn't realize that this duality gave me power...the power to get uncomfortable enough to stay the course in the name of my commitment to my family. After we hung up, I jumped in a pool of Patience.......a lake of Love.......a river of Reflection.....in an ocean of Offering. I see now that I've been too comfortable for far too long. I understand that I shield my heart from Love because I am afraid to feel the pain. I'm clear on the fact that I have been selfish, even in giving, because I gave in lieu of completely revealing heart. I was so obsessed with getting it right; I lost sight of what Commitment requires. It requires Discomfort. Commitment is a testament ...
