walking backwards

Mani Manithan has been walking backwards for 25 years. Apparently he has forgotten how to walk forwards.
The lessons I shall take from this is to walk backwards on occasion and to continue to be aware of the frequency, variation, and quality of my everyday movement. Use it...or forget how to do it. 

the year of letting go.

“the year of letting go, of understanding loss. grace. of the word ‘no’ and also being able to say ‘you are not kind’. the year of humanity/humility. when the whole world couldn’t get out of bed. everyone i’ve met this year, says the same thing ‘you are so easy to be around, how do you do that?’. the year i broke open and dug out all the rot with own hands. the year i learnt small talk. and how to smile at strangers. the year i understood that i am my best when i reach out and ask ‘do you want to be my friend?’. the year of sugar, everywhere. softness. sweetness. honey honey. the year of being alone, and learning how much i like it. the year of hugging people i don’t know, because i want to know them. the year i made peace and love, right here.”

― Warsan Shire

The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kind.

--Dalai Lama
