AWAKE and GROWING DOWN! Up and until about 5 years ago (when I decided to transition from what I used to do, to what I currently do), I would say my primary focus was on GROWING UP. Paradoxically, as it may sound, these recent years have all been about GROWING DOWN, which really lies at the very roots of what GROWING UP is all about. Now, lets hear from dear Henri Nouwen... Without deep roots we easily let others determine who we are. But as we cling to our popularity, we may lose our true sense of self. Our clinging to the opinion of others reveals how superficial we are. We have little to stand on. We have to be kept alive by adulation and praise. Those who are deeply rooted in the love of God can enjoy human praise without being attached to it. - Henri Nouwen
