As we consider our March theme, the Path of Vulnerability, we are reminded by storyteller-researcher, Brené Brown, that we humans cannot “selectively numb” our emotional lives. We cannot turn off pain or anger without turning off everything, including surprise or creativity, for example. But maybe, in those times when we feel especially vulnerable or at risk, it doesn’t have to be about “full-speed-ahead,” or “100%.” Can we imagine that maybe, sometimes, something less can be enough?
