The source for this week's conversation is written by Lizzie:
The ClearingAs I get more honestLess defendedMore open to another’s realityAs they share from where only they canAs I cultivate willing acceptance in the momentIncluding more and more(Even things that I thoughtWere unacceptable)As I fuel my curiosity withopen eyes and an open heartMy clearing appears forThe content of my life toBe held within it(And others are invited into the clearingFor the content of their lifeTo be held within it also)-- Lizzie Winn
