Aspirations and Role Models

I find myself aspiring to some kind of frame of mind, a way of being... that is both receptive, yet influential. I catch myself in awe of people, admiring qualities I wish I had in myself.

Those I greatly admire, it feels like there's a generosity of spirit, and a kind of grace they exhibit. They are humble, yet have a kind of relaxed self-assured quality to them. There's a quality of support, of being a good teammate... a feeling of "we're all in this together." There's a quality of simultaneous learning and teaching, participating in a cycle that helps to nourish, replenish, and renew... There's a feeling of expansiveness to it all... a welcoming receptive expansiveness...
