The Enormity of Life

Still, knowing all this, how do we live? How do we become intimate with our sweet ache of being alive and all that it opens? Given the difficulty of the journey and the miracle of deep connection that waits inside every difficulty, we’re left with the challenge of giving our complete attention and affection to this life; that is, we’re asked to hold nothing back until our quiet immersion into life lets us feel the tug of the Universe. Nothing is more central or basic to knowing our aliveness.

Even so, no one can teach us how to hold nothing back. We can only compare notes. For me, holding nothing back is the quiet courage to bring all of who we are to each experience. It’s less a forceful act of will and more a surrender into the current of life we’re always in. Holding nothing back lets us be who we are and not hide who we are. In essence, to hold nothing back means to live wholeheartedly. It’s the presence required to experience Oneness. In such moments, we stumble through the bottom of our pain into the enormity of life.
