“I started noticing something else, too. People will give their lives—literally give their one wild and precious life—to whatever they believe is sacred. Sometimes it’s faith. Sometimes it’s family. Sometimes it’s sex, status, politics, or money. I’ve watched people burn themselves out in service of sacred cows that never once fed them back. And I’ve also seen people light up with vitality when they—even for a moment—remember joy. When they reconnect to some tiny thread of playfulness. When they taste freedom again. Animals used for research being released into open pasture again. And I’ve come to believe this: anything that reconnects you with your truest, most liberated self—that helps you love more deeply, breathe more easily, move through the world with more softness and curiosity—that thing is sacred.” SoulPlayJoySpiritualityHealingSafetyAuthenticityPresenceSelf ExpressionInner Child Book:Sacred Silly Source: Sacred Silly
“This is a book about learning to be ridiculous again. It’s about loosening the chokehold of perfectionism, shedding the husk of seriousness, and recovering the parts of you that don’t need reasons to giggle, or snort, or sneer. You don’t need to be funnier. Or more artistic. Or more outgoing. You just need to be willing. Curious. Kind to the parts of yourself that still miss recess.” SoulPlayJoySpiritualityHealingSafetyAuthenticityPresenceSelf ExpressionInner Child Book:Sacred Silly Source: Sacred Silly
