"To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest." - Pema Chodron

Ouch! It hurts to be “thrown out of the nest;” to test ourselves against gravity and fall flat. But, we can’t measure our potential until we ruffle some feathers and leave the nest. To ”be fully human” is a specific type of flight. It requires commitment to be “fully alive” to the entire mess and success of ourselves, without excuses or safety nets. Don’t go back to sleep! Ditch the nest! Wake up to your amazing possibility!
