If I'm arguing I care, if I'm silent, I'm done

the way I care for people makes me wish I had somebody like me in my life

notes from today’s performance studies lecture on phenomenology.

[kurlicue]

“Vulnerability is not knowing victory or defeat, it’s understanding the necessity of both; it’s engaging. It’s being all in.

Vulnerability is not weakness, and the uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure we face every day are not optional. Our only choice is a question of engagement. Our willingness to own and engage with our vulnerability determines the depth of our courage and clarity of our purpose; the level to which we protect ourselves from being vulnerable is a measure of our fear and disconnection.

We must walk with courage and the willingness to engage. We must dare to show up and let ourselves be seen. This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly.”
