What does it take to be awake?

What does it take to be awake?

Can you recall what it's like to wake up without being jolted out of your slumber by your alarm/kids/dog/other? (take your pick)

In that emerging moment of the slow reveal, which you're in no hurry to cut short. Or the delicious dawning of fresh hope for new possibilities.

What do you do with these momentary invitations to life as you respond to the needs of today?

Because I realise that it's possible to sleepwalk through our lives, especially at this time, putting off being awake until another day, when there's time/resources/space/support/permission (take your pick) to step forward and dance in the liminal space.

Which is another way of saying be awake and play.

I am ready to learn.

YES! You are saying my magic word liminality! I had said 'no more bright shiny objects'. But while you are bright and shiny you are not a flash, but a constant glow and the way I enjoy starting my mornings for a year - with a quiet moment of thought.

    We have two ears and only one mouth...

    There’s a good reason for this. We need two ears to listen well.

    Two eyes make one in sight

    We see all the time our eyes are open. And usually, that seeing is made up of two sights – one from each eye.
