I was thinking of this post right before I went to sleep the other night and had this "pre-dream" as I call it. It's kind of cheesy, but I thought I'd share (on the idea of truth and what is revealed through life experience, giving up our stubborn selves, etc.)
1 + 1 = 2 is truth. But what if someone is standing between the poles, where 1 overlaps with 1, and they can't see both, so they argue it is just one? What if someone comes along and argues that it is 3 and you look up to see a third pole floating above you--a sky you weren't ready yet to see?
love all your articulations around ambiguity and paradox! authenticity + integrity are some of my favorite values or touchstones as well. funny enough, as i was reading this i realized that i have a book called 'the way of integrity' by martha beck in my cart from last night. just ordered it! AND: i am so here for this golferrrrr.
Your authentic humanness radiates from your spirit, encompasses your words, and and brings joy and wonder to my spirit. Shine on, Shira! You are a gift.
so SO resonant as always. and reminds me of the poem "Integrity" by Adrienne Rich, one of my favorites (which has been on my mind the past couple months—synchronicity!) https://www.best-poems.net/adrienne_rich/integrity.html

anyway thank you for this one :)
kelly, it's such a cherished poem, thank you for bringing it here, now.
this, always: "Anger and tenderness: my selves.
And now I can believe they breathe in me
as angels, not polarities."
