To worry is to pray in the wrong direction … There’s no easy way to get off this ride, so you best set aside your indecision & your cowardice & your jitters while you’re on it. Take a seat on the front row, throw your arms up in the air, and enjoy every last second of it; screaming in jubilation during times of pleasure & plenty … and smiling in defiance during times of frustration & fear.

“All fear has an element of resistance and a leaning away from the moment. Its dynamic is not unlike that of strong desire, except that fear leans backward into the past’s last instant of safety, while desire leans forward toward the future’s next hope … Each lacks the presence necessary to revel in the only moment we truly have: this one.” ~ inspired by Stephen Levine
