Cook Yourself In The World · Into the Fire and Water of Life
⁘ “When we refuse to acknowledge and engage what life brings before us — that's when we burn, that's when we drown, in our resistance. Whatever that crosses your path — it's connected with your potentials. Find those connections and engage.”
The fires that burn, they also transform you.
And the waters that flood, they also heal you.
Negative outcomes only ever really follow from your resistance to what is.
When we refuse to acknowledge, to accommodate,
to engage and embrace what life brings before us,
that's when we burn, and that's when we drown.
Nothing at all would ever cross your path
if you had nothing that connects with it.
When you seek those connections,
when we discover the parallels between the "in here" and the "out there",
we discover relevant potentials,
ingredients within us to be cooked in the environment.
For none of us ripens into something tasty, flavorsome, in solitude.
All of our potentials are meant to be engaged.
