As is often the case, our clients are our teachers. One of the individuals whom I coach introduced me to Mark Nepo. As part of his healing process from cancer, Mark wrote The Book of Awakening, a collection of daily meditations. Today’s message danced across his pages to this post.
Death pushed me to the edge. Nowhere to back off. And to the shame of my fears, I danced with abandon in his face. I never danced as free. And Death backed off, the way dark backs off a sudden burst of flame. Now there’s nothing left, but to keep dancing. It is the way I would have chosen had I been born three times as brave.
