I marvel at those instances when life asks more of us and we find a way to show up. We might be convinced that we are at capacity with love, effort, time, etc. and then something important emerges and we figure out how to make additional space.
It happens to us in micro and macro ways. There's the everyday expanses and then those times when we stretch to have a whole new capacity that we'll never be able to turn away from.
It really is a remarkable feat each time I witness myself or someone else discover that they had a few sections of the accordion they didn't even really hadn't been extended yet and that they are strong enough to reach a little further.
