We are taught to add to self to be a self, but where is the wisdom that to increase is really decreasing, and to decrease is actually a positive? It’s here in Taoism, but also in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Orthodox Christianity, to start a list.

I reference a pretty crazy podcast from OnBeing by Krista Tippett: https://onbeing.org/programs/colette-pichon-battle-on-knowing-what-were-called-to/

Thanks so much to Naomi Joy Gill for lending her energy, voice, and – for me – a devastating question (in the good sense!).

May your days begin in emptiness, to become wombs to birth radical hope!
