I’ve been running a retreat for my own team, who have flown in for the last couple of days. It’s been great - being together - celebrating, planning, reflecting - , but to be honest, everyone has been ill, including our two year old, Meadow, who has been keeping me up half the night. So i’m exhausted. Properly tired. Somewhat frazzled, but still feeling i have to perform.
So the last thing i really wanted to do at the end of the day was to be here.
But it reminds me that to be ‘in our practice’, is to be so even when we are tired.
I’m reminded also about River’s book, the one on kindness, which says that it’s important to be kind even when you are tired.
So here i am, in my practice, with nothing to offer except a certain vulnerability.
Use your sixty seconds in what is left of today to consider where you are safe to be vulnerable.
