Better Than My Best Dream

Wide Awake....here we come. The best and the brightest (at least some of them)...we jump off the cliff together, holding hands, lots of love and daring, top level graduate program which I so totally adore!!! It always feels like an delicious honor to teach every class, off-curriculum, high flame, while in the presence of so many committed Option Institute graduate students who have been and continue to use the Option Process as wondrous vehicle to propel them to the top of their mountain (by living their best dreams, not simply dreaming it). Some of you who will read this are in the program; for all others, this is the bar to hit. Imagine, no problem too big that can't be resolved, no unhappiness too resistant that can't be tamed, no mystery too immense that can't be embraced. Decades ago, when I started teaching and, with Samahria, creating the Option Institute, this was something that I had dreamed about -- like-minded people, who would create a community of vision and commitment -- to hold hands together and explore, to keep growing and wanting to live WIDE AWAKE. And now, this class, these students -- well even better than any dreamed I dreamed 27 years ago when we began the Institute. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Love and gratitude, Bears
