"Unless we completely inhabit ourselves, it’s not possible to be completely present. If we’re not completely present, we’re not inclusive—and when we’re not inclusive, that’s when we exclude others who have different views, different opinions, different upbringings—difference. In presence, we see the beauty in what was... previously unbeautiful—in difference and in alikeness. It’s all of life." -Gina Sharpe
Thank you, @Parabola Magazine on FB! From "The Beautiful Mind: A Conversation with Gina Sharpe," in the current issue, http://www.parabola.org/the-beautiful-mind-a-conversation-with-gina-sharpe.
I will be thinking about what it means to "inhabit myself" and ways I exit from that dwelling far too often as I continue to participate in the DreamLab on "The Gifts of Imperfection" by Brene Brown. Maybe "inhabiting myself" and centering in God are related?
