Still.Point

After almost a year, I am again sitting down to write about my journey.

David Whyte writes, "There is no path that goes all the way...." And over and over in life I choose to learn this lesson. I am now aware that last year as I moved the practice I was inviting myself to reimagine what a psychotherapy practice could look like. I was challenging myself to reinterpret how to define who I am as a therapist, an artist and a writer. I was looking to create a new conversation with life. A new conversation with the world.

How is it that I always forget how difficult this lesson is?

It is like childbirth--I forget what is required.  In the moment of living up to the consequences and actually accepting what I have invited into life--the world pauses and again I must choose to live and make visible what I have chosen.

And it never looks like what I thought it would. The shock of that reality takes my breath away every time.

Stilling
Be still.
There is where the movement of your soul resides.
Your soul is where your dance is
And your dance is the freedom and joy you seek.
All is contained in the Stilling.
