Unglove Yourself
“We waste so much energy trying to cover up who we are
when beneath every attitude is the want to be loved
and beneath every anger is a wound to be healed
and beneath every sadness is the fear that there will not be enough time.
Our challenge each day is not to get dressed to face the world
but to unglove ourselves so that the door knob feels cold
and the car handle feels wet
and the kiss goodbye feels like the lips of another being
soft and unrepeatable.”
-Mark Nepo, Book of Awakening

Or what we refer to here at Minimalista as ‘reverse engineering’ or ‘working backwards’…
Glad to be doing this in the first half of life.
