Still, what I want in my life
is to be willing
to be dazzled –
to cast aside the weight of facts
and maybe even

All life is being lived.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

What happens when, even when we feel like leaving, abandoning the moment for the promise of a future salvation, we stay, sitting with the raw, unfiltered, boundlessly alive life-energy that is simply trying to express right now?" ~ Jeff Foster

calling to me? I can't
