NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This aliveness is what’s most important to me, and what I most wish — from the very core of my being — for us all.
I don’t know about you, but I regress to toddlerhood when my life falls apart. Those times when the cherished whatever that defines me and gives my life meaning — healthy body, interesting work, kids at home, relationship with someone I love — falls away, usually wrested from my fist tightly wrapped around said cherished whatever.
Noooooooooooo, I say to life/God: no, you can’t have this, it’s MINE. Nooooooooooo, this CAN’T be my life. My life, my good life, my best life, HAS to have (fill in the blank: health, wealth, primary partnership, your own cherished whatever).
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh lordy. This primal NO sucks the juice right out of me. It obliterates both the “wild” and the “precious” from my wild and precious life.
Enter the Big Yes: the no-holds-barred Yes to your own life, with or without your cherished whatevers.
