I thrive in the times of transitions; The times in between. The bubbling, broiling, active time that signifies change in action, with all of its starts and stops, bumps, and grinds. The time just before where resting turns to restlessness. It is here that new beginnings are nurtured to life, molded into art. It is here that the first breaths of creativity exhale their wispy currents. How do you look upon transition? With fear? or with excitement?
If in fear can we truly move with the freedom necessary to reach our potential? Think of fearful thoughts. Think of the scariest things that you can muster. Now look at your body. Is it closed up? bent over? Do you move begrudgingly? with pain? without grace? Listen to your language. Is it dark? closed? violent? Check your vision. Can you see the periphery? the edges? the horizon? Your hearing. Can you hear past your own thumping heart beat?
If we face the transition with excitement and an openness for the possibilities, for the great potential ahead of us then our posture is upright, strong, vibrant. Our movement easy, flexible, graceful. Our language becomes bright, inviting, nurturing. Our vision scans all around us to take in the detail that surrounds us. Our hearing reaches out to hear the softest of voices.
We are in a time of transition. What are the potentials in this time? Check back often as we explore these potentials.
