“Despite these fears, my wife encouraged me to listen to these deeper longings and clear the space for something new to emerge in my life.”

What a gift to have a sage by your side!

Love the journey you’re on, Steve.

Definitely can relate to this after coming out of a sabbatical and letting go. I am trying to make sense of this new chapter with awareness and kindness and your reflection definitely helps put things in perspective and gives me faith. Sending all the best from your friend from Ft Greene park.

Thank you for sharing. Feels validating to read your experience as it resonates and mirrors my own after 9 months of sabbatical and deep personal work. For me it has all come down to understanding that in order to let go of these narratives, we have to discover and practice self-compassion and self-love.

Love this. The ego holds onto doing so hard and society backs it up but there is deep magic underneath.
