the Infinite Monkey speaks: on vulnerability

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

.

I began to realize that, ironically, staying in that comfy chair was making me more vulnerable because it’s living to avoid things rather than learning how to skillfully navigate them. By avoiding, I’d nurture my weakness instead of developing the strength of character that being vulnerable in the world can create when done with awareness and loving-kindness. What I’ve come to understand is that the shadow of vulnerability is frightening, but the light side is where real connection happens, where love happens, where life happens.

Week In Review – Habits

Saturday
A good thing about working the late shift
is I can take a nap before work.
I did, and it was delicious.

Sunday
Off today, so I took two naps!
A morning nap and an afternoon nap.
Like a toddler.
Except then I wasn’t sleepy at bedtime,
so I was up half the night.

Monday
Oh my gosh,
I am sooooo tired.

Tuesday
Last night I had very detailed,
very vivid, zombie dreams.
Still not too gory though,
because gross.
I only give myself pg-13 zombie dreams.

Wednesday
For weeks it’s felt like I was missing clothes.
Hm, maybe they’re in that bag in the foyer.
The one I dropped there when I came back from the river.
And then never noticed again.
Literally.
Like it was invisible.

Thursday
I tried to go to work in my slippers today,
but I only got as far as the porch.
This time.

Friday
I’ve watched World War Z almost every day
since I bought it, in part or in full, or
maybe in the background just for noise.
I’ve finally – finally! – switched to something else.
I think.

Do you have any habits that help or hinder you?

Or make you have zombie dreams? 🙂
