I love that quote from Osho. I often feel a paradoxical invulnerability when at my most open, sensitive, vulnerable. When the barriers around the self are relaxed, you find that what you thought you were protecting isn’t actually there. It never was.
But the process of opening is not easy. It takes courage. Like a waveform, it’s a continuous journey of expansion and contraction,...

empowering ourselves through imagination
Part of our becoming empowered and empowering beings is recognising the power of our own imaginings to create and co-create our reality.

the maintaining of our world
“We maintain our world with our internal talk, and whenever we finish talking to ourselves about ourselves, and our world, the world is always as it should be. We renew it.

“nothing is ever lost…only transformed”
january work
This last week saw many touching and frankly hilarious moments as I watched about 500 very small humans try to make sense of their world through music, movement and drama.

Tao Te Ching no. 16
Chih hsu chi Attain complete emptiness,
Hold fast to stillness.
The ten thousand things stir about; I only watch for their going back.
Things grow and grow, But each goes back to its root. Going back to the root is stillness. This means returning to what is. Returning to what is Means going back to the ordinary.
Understanding the ordinary: Enlightenment. Not understanding the ordinary: ...

news and the individual (excerpt)
When we hear of the important news items that are ‘the talk of the nation’ (as NPR like to put it), what we are witnessing is the self-referential narrative of the Control System. These headlines are not the news of the individual, or even echoes from the communities that are composed of individuals.
