Well-Being: A high satisfaction with life. A quality of presence  A sense of meaning and fulfillment. 

Cascading aliveness. Sensory rich. It’s in the details and the wide open spaces.

An inner knowing of the fountain that feeds it. In everyday moments, and moments of awe and grief.

It’s cradling the interior with the exterior. Visible and Invisible. Known and unknowable. Sacred and profane. That’s what makes well-being a state of aliveness. 

Tending the untended parts in you that are parched. Focused attention. Lovingly. Mending your relationship with the dark.

Well-being is a both/and possibility. To find the deep well within yourself as a springboard to offer up to the world. We are more aware of our interconnectivity now. The virus taught us this. Well-being is not health. And it’s not longevity. It’s not a steady state. It’s not separate from each other. It’s a place to come home to. Again and again. Re-Remembering what has meaning, inspires, and points us towards a world that works for all.

Change is happening whether we engage with it or not. Look how rapidly we’ve changed with a pandemic. 

Moving towards well-being versus away from worry, fear, contagion.

We think we can’t change until we are forced to and then we see that we can. And perhaps must change.

When you understand well-being you can access it anywhere. It’s as close as your skin.

We can change the culture of unwellness by choosing new thoughts, feelings and behaviors that support our well-being and the well-being of all living things.
