Living is a continuous sequence of moments demanding our participation, not isolation. We cannot change our lives if we cannot transform our moments. Our lives are habitually colored by our reactions. When we cannot see past these reactions, we miss knowing our true selves. The depth of our ocean remains untapped.
Many people work on the surface, painting and re-covering and rearranging the furniture.
They have never even looked at the structure-the foundation. They don't look, because it frightens them. We have learned to avoid these negative emotional inner states. This process can be embraced with creative imagination rather than struggle. Like campfire lore, these ideas dance and take shape.
