Begin

Rely, therefore, on radical trust, even though the moment may call for you to leap empty-handed into the void.   ~Ralph H. Blum

I’m afraid. Because, what if….

What if this blog is mediocre? Trite? Forgettable? Too much? Not enough? Irrelevant?

It probably is. Or will be to most. And, I’m OK with that.

Begin anyway. Proceed with this as a given. Lucky Pilgrim is a practice. A practice to articulate my awareness with loving kindness, with humor, with humility, with honesty, and hopefully with growth.

And so, begin.

Begin to notice, to appreciate, to witness from the inside out. To seek and capture the light. To sit and listen in the dark. To tell stories, to share failures and findings, to trust in my farting around, my experiments, my wandering mind, heart, and body. To surrender to all that is possible including failure, embarrassment, irrelevance. Take the blows. Take stock. Keep trying.

What if? So what?!

Begin.
