that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular;
but one must take it BECAUSE it is right.

the legacy instead of the small.
Now. Now I will live large, love boldly,
reach to the edges of my unfurled heart and fully enrolled hope.

and my palms parallel to each other - about four inches apart.

Later, I visualize the energy or "Qi" between my palms.
