Living life with open hands is an
outward expression of the inner
work of opening the heart, mind, and
will.
This opening up requires open eyes
and open ears that see and hear with
the heart
. . . a "Seeing" that goes beneath the
surface of actions, reactions, and
interactions, habits and conditioned
responses, mental models and
assumptions,
. . . to the heart below the surface.
With this openness, we "See"
with new eyes at a deeper level into
ourselves, other people,
organizations, communities, and
systems.
This inner work is then expressed
outwardly by living with open hands;
welcoming others and life,
giving and receiving openly,
living in community.
Living with Open Hands . . .
in a world of clenched fists . . .
