Thoughts for the Day
Here are some things that I've stumbled across in the past day or two that have given me pause to think:
"Refuse to sink."
"Creating is harder than knowing." -- Franklin Richards, FF
"While there is much to do, we are not here to do." -- Mark Nepo
"Never leave a person who touches your soul more than your body."
"and now I exist in that moment of possibility again." -- Colson Whitehead
Each has, in different ways, spoken to the current state of my spirit and my self-perception: resolve of will, need to live at a chiller pace, the power of imagination, the importance of connection, the excitement of possibility.
The fourth one--about soul and body--has really struck me for some reason I can't explain. It's almost haunting to me. It articulates a sentiment I know to be true (and the right touches to the body, in concert with everything else that makes a good relationship, IS a way to touch the soul), but it has the resonance of a lesson learned too late--although not by me. Can't really explain it.
I finish with the Whitehead line, which comes from Zone One, because I've been excited by that sense of potential that I feel, like electricity, zinging in my fingertips of late. I feel empowered by it. The moment of possibility means that all things all possible, and to me, that's exhilarating, especially because I feel so optimistic about those possibilities, even though I can't see any of them at the moment. I don't know what's out there,but I feel it in my bones that it's going to be good. The moment is one to savor!
