Life is Wide

Send us a text

Blissful's Great-grandma Emma used to say, "Life may be short, but it’s also wide."

• It’s a shift in perspective – from focusing on limitations to exploring possibilities, from dwelling on obstacles to finding creative detours.
• It would take walking the entire length of New Zealand on the Te Araroa for her to understand what Emma was talking about. 
• The first lesson came in taking the risk to just go and do this thing – even in middle age –leaning into the unknown.
• Risk taking is good for us not because it promises a perfect life, but because it widens the journey ahead of us.  

MUSIC: "Poema del Pastor Coya" by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano.
