Another year . . . it seems cliche to talk about it. Yet that's what I focused on when I led my yoga class on Saturday. Let go of all that stuff from 2016 that haunts your dreams, that hurts your soul, and let yourself think about who you want to be and how you want to connect with people, nature, and God in the coming year. Bring that into your heart. Confucius wrote that we should do everything from the heart. That is our challenge and what we crave, to be present to what's required of us. Even if you don't know it, it's there, confronting you, causing you guilt and anxiety if you do not follow your calling, if you're not connected.
Goals are not as important as being responsive. I wrote in my journal that Sue Monk Kidd is a woman who examines things, a woman who writes what she feels, who pokes at things until she really understands them and gets them down on paper. She’s not afraid to express herself. She’s Christian but she’s open, like a meandering river, downright spiritual, a seeker, connected to God. That’s my vision of what I want to be.
