An unhurried pace that is patient, open, undefended, and humble is a force - especially in this time.

Walk it. Make your stops. Reach back. This moment only once. Never again. Let’s make it count.

You are a person on a path, on a journey with ancestors behind you and people ahead of you who need what only you can give.

The only thing that is being asked of me, of you, or any of us is that we fulfill our purpose adn we rise to meet one another and our camino.

Everything is available to you in this journey at any time and you need to believe that.

The camino is not a straight line. It never was. The path is not fixed. You are not fixed. The conditions will change because they always do. But you have agency in the direction at any moment.

The path is not later. It’s here and it's now.

Choosing to be fully present, refusing to be numb, choosing to create, to be here with each other, connection. That is not passive. That is our form of defiance.

Your path is not going to look like mine.

I am not special. I am not the exception to the rule. I am proof that the rule is kind of a lie y’all.

We don’t have to wait for permission. We can build what we need and we can bring it to the people around us with us.

The community has built parallel systems for when the journey gets rough.

I want you to know that that performance cost you’re paying is not evidence that you do not belong. It is evidence that the room needs to expand.

I’m borrowing it from the Dalai Lama, so you know it’s good shit.

Sometimes the camino can be a total pain in the ass.

Once you have youre ikigai, the road begins to meet you magically.

You already know what your ikigai is, and you’ve known for a while.

When the salsa comes on, you don’t deny that. That’s a non-negotiable.

Here’s the beautiful thing about Ikigai,it shifts with you as you move along your journey. It’s not static. It evolves with you.

You own the people you love your honesty, especially when you’re scared.

Sometimes you get to choose those stops that you make but you also get to choose how low you’re going to stay in each of them.

The road is full of stops and you can make whatever you want out of it.

What are you doing while the path changes underneath you?

The limitations tht we’ve accepted as outs are also not fixed.

Nothing is fixed. Not your feelings right now, not the obstacles, not the conditions. All of that is changeable.
