Faire autrement, voir autrement

Chris Corrigan, dans un superbe texte publié hier, trouve le moyen de résumé l’essence du sentiment avec lequel je reviens d’Halifax. En voici un extrait :

The truth is that the balls always fall to to the ground.  The beauty of juggling is simply the ongoing possibility that the balls might not drop.

When we partner with reality it doesn’t matter what beliefs we carry.  They are all false.  And so, taking the advice of my mentor and hero and partner Caitlin Frost who is a deep practitioner of Byron Katie’s work, we need only question the beliefs that cause us suffering and not worry about the ones that don’t.  If we can think of a peaceful reason for keeping a thought, we should do so.  If not, work to shed the thought and make friends with reality.  I can see this work now as terrifying optimism, a fierce sharpening of our own edges where we meet the world with resourcefulness, power and care.

This week I was reaffirmed in my belief that my work is to continue to be in the world living and working at every turn with the possibility that today the whole thing just might not fall apart.

Thanks Chris. a lot.
