Being everything

"Why is it so difficult to accept that we are everything? It's no big secret that any of us can morph into a liar, a lover, or a caring loyal friend at the flick of a finger... Whatever possibilities exist, we have been or will be them, even if only in our heads or hearts. Shape-shifting is a part of being human; maybe it's even what we're here to do and be."

- Gabrielle Roth, Connections: the five threads of intuitive wisdom

Lately I've been spending so much time "trying to figure out my life." Looking at the bubbly colored squares on my iCal in fear of the empty spaces. Making lists: what do I want to be, what vitamins do I need to take now, what errands to run, what classes or workshops to take, what should my one-woman show be about? UGH - no wonder why I'm not getting anything done.

Reminder to myself: I don't need to have it all figured out. I just need to stay in tune with the subtle pulses and rhythms in my body and in the world around the me, and let them lead me in new directions. To paraphrase Gabrielle, focus on the dance itself, not on being the dancer.
