Calling back to curiosity offers me a different way in.
Not necessarily in the form of fascination or wonder,
But as an agent to create space or distance.
A kind of gentle detachment that carves out a generous berth
between me and the story I’m telling myself.

If something is truly meant for me, no amount of control
or obsession will force it into being any faster or easier
than it will naturally unfold.
And perhaps, by inviting in that release,
I could be a little more rested and ready for when it does turn.

Fear is not a failure. It is information.
I get a clear sense of what is important to me.

If I can pause, if I can slow down.
If I can ask that fear to “sit down for a cup of tea,”
Maybe I can listen in to what it is really asking of me.
Maybe I learn something.

Maybe I can honestly meet myself in this very moment,
exactly as I am.

Whether I am opening a curtain to let the morning light in,
washing the dishes in the kitchen sink, preparing my taxes in spreadsheets and sweatpants.
I don’t need to wait for the perfect moment, the wide berth of space, the boundless energy I think I need in order to have a creative moment.

Creativity doesn’t need me to have a week off of work for it to arrive.
I don’t need the fancy notebook to begin.
It moves through me, through us in the ordinary rhythms of life.
It is accessible with out any fancy bells or whistles.
The mundane, the monotony also desires to have the company of inspiration.

Kinesthetic Response.

This is the act of movement, or being moved, in response to someone or something. Kinesthetic, simply meaning your senses are engaged, your physically active in your experience.

A response, the reply.
The ouch to the pinch. The pull to the push.

A true indicator if you are listening, if you are engaged.
This ViewPoint lives in the realm of time, as it can only be experienced in the moment that is happening.

Spatial Relationship is crucial in navigating the world.
It outlines safety, it can alter dynamics in group settings,
it has a hand in creating beauty or discord.
But, we actually have to learn our relationship in “space”.

Welcome to The Threshold.

This is my first step towards the edge.
And I guess there is no way to begin, but just to begin…
I am starting this month, and in a way this whole journey, at the threshold of Wisdom.

Not with the desire to obtain it… rather to remember ….
