These words are an invitation to explore the way that we can consciously choose to stay. To experience more presence within ourselves, within our relationships and within our lives and it's hard as fuck and it also doesn't have to be perfect.
As many moments as we move away from, numb and disconnect or react inside of are just as many moments we can be aware and slow enough to drop in to.
We can stay, and we can breathe.
We create the space to show up for the breath, we breathe in the discomfort of the stillness and we stay.
We stay, and we feel.
Without an attachment or a belief that the feelings become who we are, it gets to be safe to stay in the experience and breathe the energy of the emotion through our bodies.
We stay, and we see.
We hold a gaze and we witness the truth of a person. We see the truth of ourselves. We see the truth of the ones we're in relationship with - our partner, our children, our family, our friends, our community. We don't see through the lens of our perception, but we see clearly and we stay.
We stay, and we listen.
Without reaction to respond, we slow enough to stay and to hear. To be present, and to learn. To be available and to understand.
We stay, and we love.
We soften and experience ourselves and others in unconditional wholeness. With love over fear or judgment or expectation. We stay, and we stay gently.
We stay where we can begin to create a deeper connection that can only live in presence.
