not because their mom is making them.
There is risk involved with opening up yourself to reveal fears and vulnerabilities, to connecting at our sources of truth. Terry Tempest Williams writes when talking about the idea of exposing our true selves that “we commit our vulnerabilities not to fear but to courage. . . .” Find or rediscover powerful connections in your life. Find a safe place to ask questions and test emerging emotions and fears. It is thoroughly reassuring to speak your truth and see heads bob in understanding of what you are saying. The words “I know just what you mean, I feel the same way” will liberate you when they are said to you. Make time in your life and space in your heart for connecting with others. Embrace it wholly with the most terrified, tentative parts of your spirit. The rewards are limitless, the power immense.
Someday after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides, and gravity, we shall harness—for God— the energies of love. And then, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.

ENERGY
■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■
A discussion of energy is in order at the outset because it is key to discovering the entrance to the garden. Everything and everyone and everywhere has energy. We ourselves are indeed energy, and energy or life force is all around us, in our thoughts and emotions. We just need to remember. We feel it in our bellies, our intuitive selves, in our very centers. Too often we dwell in our heads, relying on our analytical hemisphere rather than listening to the information coming from our source of intuition, our source of true self. Don’t underestimate energy’s existence as an entity. Have the courage to recognize and respect it. Every cell in our bodies holds the emotional energy of our thoughts and actions. This impacts our health and our happiness.
