Responding Freely

Responding Freely

Inner awareness unblocks outer responsiveness, freeing us to respond
wholeheartedly, without fearing failure or loss of self-control. Instead
of identifying with our response we can allow the response to reflect
the situation. As occasion requires, we can be temperate extremists or
passionate moderates, radical conservatives or reasonable revolutionaries.
