Be a Stranger

When I travel in unfamiliar circumstances, as a stranger, it can feel awkward, lonely, even a little scary, but there’s also wonder and the opening of new worlds. When I embrace that I’m a stranger, I find it easier to live in the present: it’s ok to be ignorant, curious, ready to be wow-ed. Like a tourist expecting good things on their journey.

Attention: A Hostage Situation

I am an “intermittent” hostage. Let me explain: The great tyrant of our day, Urgency, keeps violently stealing my attention and holding it at a kind of gun point. \Here I sit at my desk, content to work on my tasks for the day and, “BAM!” an overheard conversation plunges me into fear and worry over the world’s tragedies and heartache.

I am but a stranger here... comfort in a crazy world

I do not belong here—in this modern world I mean. I really don’t fit in. Sometimes, I feel like I’m the one who is crazy, but most of the time I’m certain it’s the world not me. Do you feel the same?

Becoming or believing? Transcending the self-improvement obsession.

It’s the time for resolutions. Time to evaluate our progress over the last year and fix our wills on some S.M.A.R.T goals for the next year. Which is all well and good. May you find success in your goals! Here, however, I invite you to pause with me and consider a few deep questions: “how am I evaluating progress in life? What final goal am I seeking to achieve?”
