What we choose to fight is so tiny!
What fights with us is so great.
This quote from Rumi’s poem, The Man Watching, so beautifully outlines the bounty of ground that holds and unfolds us.
Defensive strategies are protective parts of us that don’t realize that as we loosen our grip there may just be a place to land, feel contained in a larger field of presence.
“What fights with us,” the un-nameable “is so great.” It is invisible, its presence is vast, it is a shape-shifter in all the ways. It invites mystery, challenge, clarity, light, and darkness.
It is all things.
