For radical rootedness, less is more

For radical rootedness, less is more

I am continuing to muse on unfurling while also sensing we’re in a season of asking big questions…

RADICAL ROOTEDNESS

It’s hard to let go

of things that have

defined us,

of identities

we’ve answered to

for so long.


This is me you’re talking about,

the only me I know…


But what if there’s

more of the real us

waiting to emerge,

yet without the

space to grow.


This is me you’re talking about,

the only me they know…


And what if -

digging beneath cliché -

the best is yet to come.

And there are people

waiting for us,

because we’re part

of their becoming.


In unfurling possibilities

of all that might be,

keep us grounded

in the radical roots

of our true identity.


And give us close friends,

brave space and

deep courage to

actively let go,

because less

is so much more.

    We have two ears and only one mouth...

    There’s a good reason for this. We need two ears to listen well.
