―Martin Luther King Jr. What might it feel like to let go—even for a short while—of wishes, expectations, and everything you think you know? To not only think outside the box, but to throw away the box altogether? Can you make space for freedom today? In mindful presence, Lori Furbush Freedom: to ask nothing, to expect nothing, to depend on nothing.
―Ayn Rand Summer is nature’s time to grow and expand with wild abandon. Our human lives, too, are abundant with people, systems, commerce, complexity, and a multitude of choices.

―Leonardo da Vinci In nature, a perennial flower reaches full bloom and then fades, crumbling back into the ground. And when all the elements and rhythms align, it sprouts anew. The darkest hours of the night eventually return to light. We, too, must sometimes reach our darkest hour, crumbling to our core. And when the timing is right, we slowly return to life. Like the pause after the exhale that lingers, until finally, the next inhale unfolds. In mindful presence, Lori Furbush To be worn out is to be renewed.
