Whatever is held and listened to will show us where it lives in the world and in us.
The quote from Mark Nepo's "The Exquisite Risk: Daring to Live an Authentic Life" emphasizes the profound impact of our attentiveness and receptivity to ideas and experiences. It suggests that what we choose to focus on not only reveals its significance in the external world but also reflects its presence and importance within ourselves. Essentially, our engagement with the world shapes our understanding and connection to it.
Nepo encourages readers to embrace a deeper level of listening and observation, implying that through this process, we can uncover truths about our own nature and the essence of life experiences. By holding onto these insights, we can foster a more authentic existence, truly resonating with our inner selves and the world around us.
