“Today, transcending boundaries is hard work. For one thing, I’ve created more of them since I was young, and I’ve built them higher and stronger than they once were. For another thing, I’m much more self-righteous and much less humble than I was then. Sometimes, when I am at my best, I remember that the “other” I distinguish myself from could be me in another time, another place, another circumstance.” -From “Transcending Boundaries,” by Yvonne Seon
How do you do the work of transcending boundaries?
With gentle persistence. Our human tendency is to be bold with our strength and attempt to obscure our weakness. We have the option to be courageous with our limitations instead. When I acknowledge them with love and share them with my trusted communities I become braver.
