But we go there. We go to that lonely fork between security and difficulty, because that’s where we finally see whether this is something we truly love, or just some pretty pictures and nice-sounding posts built to bolster our egos.
We believe the truest version of ourselves stands well beyond comfort’s perimeter. Shed skin. Lose blood. Find ourselves gasping for breath and drenched in sweat and still not even close to halfway there.
Most people prefer comfort in their lives, forgetting that difficulty is actually what nourishes the human spirit. Risk. Fear. Doubt. The unknown. Now we’re beginning to feel the beating heart of experience. It’s not necessarily the way everyone would choose to live. But it’s our way. The Other Way. https://vimeo.com/137904852
I'm afraid fear is a closer comrade for most than what nourishes the human spirit, the beating heart that pushes blood. The tame among us have no need to hear a call, that would only lead to confusion and more fear. Our way, the feral way. They don't understand it, hell we don't even understand it. That's the point.
