Surrender reveals agency.

If you want people to build a loving world, you have to build genuinely loving pathways to •mutually• get there. Self-righteousness is shame turned outward. And the work is humble af. Luckily true humility is incredibly fun and spontaneous and confident 😌

To unpack “Self-righteousness is shame turned outward” a bit, your judgment might be on point, but the relational moves that come from that posture create/sustain suffering in self and/or other. It’s really not judgment that’s bad it’s the agenda/grasping that goes along with it

True humility is •fun• because it’s neither shrinking yourself or pumping yourself up. Those are a manipulation of self and/or others. True humility is organic right-sized-ness, and that’s an organic dance that happens mutually rather than thru a policing of your self image

With growth spurts come growing pains.

Minds align with loving beliefs and behavior (individually, relationally, collectively) when they are both cared for lovingly and invited gracefully and directly into finding loving ways of contributing to the world.

It’s crazy that we get a new moon every month, that’s gotta be a lotta work for the universe to pull that off
