And this is so important because it's not about being like anybody else.
We start by admitting what we don't know.
We start by opening our heart.
And there's a practice, the word admit.
And I love this because it has two meanings.
Admit means to declare or confess what is true.
But it also means to let in.
And these things work together.
The more that I admit what's true, the more I let in.
The more I let in, the more I'm capable of admitting what's true.
So I invite people to start by admitting what is true.
I think, you know, in one of my poems, I don't have it with me, but there's a line, you know, that the most powerful thing we can do when feeling powerless is admit what is true.
Because so often, you know, I'm afraid of being lonely and I already am.
I'm afraid things are going to change.
They've already changed.
And often the heart knows first and we play catch up.
And so this is also why it's so important, again, because we're human.
And so a lot of the things we talk about, about being blocked or being struggling and all these different, I think of them not as deficiencies, but as developmental aspects of our journey.
So the first thing I do, and this opens up a wonderful thing I'd love to talk a little bit about.
So I'm up, my wife Susan is kind of a night owl and I'm a morning person, which actually gives us kind of good alone time at either end of the day.
