Every human is innately deep. What we experience and witness in our interactions with others, behaviorally, is their relationship with their own depth - how much of their depth they've explored, whether or not they've acknowledged that they have depth, how they honor or dismiss this, all intertwined with the unique life experience they've had - their traumas, their triumphs, their failures, their joy, the dynamics of the relationships they have had and currently have.

Think about the complexity of being a human. At our core, we are Self/Spirit/Soul - a landscape of unbiased conscious awareness, layered with branches of self with many biases, desires, sensations, emotions, and physical needs that frequently create a facade of separation (from Self, others, the natural world) through our cognition of what it all means.

To begin grokking our depth, we must be willing to acknowledge that we are more than our human experience. We have to clarify enough to acknowledge our human experience as a window into the rest of our being, and honor it as sacred because of this. Just because we are more than our physical existence does not make it any less meaningful or useful - it actually amplifies its potency.

Whether you believe you're here for a reason or not, you're here. Experiencing, relating, cognizing, feeling, emoting. And if you know someone who doesn't believe that we're all here for a reason, who doesn't identify as being spiritual, etc., and you've labeled them as "not deep," consider your relationship with your own depth.

Have you reached a point of self-exploration where the ego feels satisfied enough to criticize the work others may or may not have done? Is it possible that there's more of your own depth to be discovered that would dismantle such judgments?

I don't pose these questions to you without posing them to myself - the only reason this writing sprang into existence is because I caught myself in judgment, and it brought me sacred pause.

If you feel into the rawest essence of your depth - what whispers do you hear there? Tales of how others should live their lives? Is grace present? Is love present? Is play present?

Be curious, dive in, take a swim.
