Vitality is inextricably linked to or capacities to align with our life force and life source. One approximate translation of life force is qi, the energies that move around and through us and in the environments of which we are part. Life source, from the perspective of the vivid grove, is also like a well, or a pond of energy that resides under each one of us, that can bubble up; we can access if we open, attend, or attune to it. Vitality is also linked to the Taoist concept of yang sheng, or nourishing life; when we nourish all aspects of our life, we can access a brightness and vividness far more than we could ever imagine (thank you Dennis Leri).This all takes courage, practice, and it comes and goes, like the procession of time, the pulsations of life.
