We are learning to not know, to believe that the world works without making it work, controlling it, or making any sense whatsoever. In the last three days. three people have come into my life via email, phone and in person, that were right on the edge.
Our job, as people, is to listen. Simply listen with all of "our selves". Not the words, just
the listening and being there and being part of the other. I too, do not know what I am doing, or what is next or if there is a next. Carlos Castaneda, at a training in Mexico City, some years ago, started the session with of 1500 people with the words: "For the next four days, suspend your need for anything to make sense, be logical or in any way, linear."
There is an energy that is specific and felt, separate from defining, or talking about jobs, being in Los Angeles with eight million people and finding love and kindness everywhere, as well as jack knifed trucks on freeways causing traffic to back up seven miles for hours.
We keep showing up, you and I, finding ourselves a bit more each week.
We are stepping back from old beliefs we did not know we carried and carried us. We disrupt the world around us, disturb others, yet all we are doing, is listening to our sometmes phantom hearts.
