This is marriage. It is standing on the edge of the abyss and saying, I choose to stay.

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.

the Infinite Monkey speaks: on being human
Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

It doesn’t matter how much people hurt you, how much pain they inflict, how many scars they leave, how many hearts they break. You could hate almost everyone, you could despise a few, they could deserve it, they probably do. But beyond all that, a simple gesture can remind us that human connection remains the most important thing to our existence. No matter how comfortable we are with ourselves, how happy we may be alone, we all crave someone to share that connection with. We all live for each other whether we like it or not. We are only human.

In every situation, you can make something that is what everyone thinks it should be, or you can change what everyone thinks it should be.
