Beginner

This post has been languishing unfinished since February, but it’s uncanny how relevant it still feels today. 

I’m drawn to the image below, the tender explosion of a flower created by my son when we was very young. It’s a good reminder of the power of beginner’s mind, loosely defined as an approach to life full of openness and curiosity. This week I got so deep inside my head, second guessing my intuition and projecting expectations, that I temporarily lost connection to this resource. Taking steps to slow down, simplify.
