Sharing a couple of recent articles. The first one came as a reflection after the recent event with Jacques. "'What is the relationship between strength and vulnerability?' This was a question for Jacques Verduin, a remarkable activist who has long been working with inmates at San Quentin, a prison notorious for its toughness. We often think of vulnerability as weakness, but Jacques had a unique perspective." http://ow.ly/6npaw With the one before that, I started writing it thinking it was going to be about the need for unstructured space, but it ended up going in its own direction :-) "It is a simple yet profound metaphor that a childhood mentor of my mom's shared with her decades ago: 'When one foot walks, the other rests.' It's the way all of nature works, a beautiful reminder that everything is in ebb and flow, engaged in cycles and rhythms." http://ow.ly/6npd6
