So well said. One who also extended this invitation is the poet Rumi:

“The ground’s generosity takes in our compost and grows beauty! Try to be more like the ground.” May it be so.

I LOVE THIS, Steve. My favorite story is the Woman at the Well because she leaves her jar. She puts it down and doesn't pick it back up. She drops her shit and goes on to declare the good news. Thank you for this spiritual gemstone. :)
