VULNERABILITY
By David Whyte

is not a weakness, a passing indisposition, or something we can arrange to do without, vulnerability is not a choice , vulnerability is the underlying, ever present and abiding under-current of our natural state.
To run from vulnerability is to run from the essence of our nature, the attempt to be invulnerable is the vain attempt to be something we are not and most especially, to close off our understanding of the grief of others. More seriously, refusing our vulnerability we refuse the help needed at every turn of our existence and immobilize the essential, tidal and conversational foundations of our identity

Equality poundcake.

Boats don’t sink because of the water around them.
They sink because of the water that gets inside of them.
Don’t let fears or other peoples stuff get inside of you.
