Wisdom comes from everywhere. The most valuable comes from what hurts us. Perhaps because the hurt bores deeply, where we guard most carefully those things that are most vulnerable. Things that are able to stand on their own defend themselves.
It seems to become more an more clear that life is a jazz musician, improvising. There are some underlying chords built in, but mainly the improv, the dance, the play....that's where the juiciness resides. When I go about my day to day, I try to take a bit of an audience perspective and observe the other musicians playing and dancing. I play my part too, and wow...some of those notes are really off key! And people like to notice or comment or judge your wrong note and that can sting. It's all improv!

So beautifully stated Jesse. And so true.

So what are you discovering about life these days?

I fear for my Inner Critic's toes, now. Thanks.
