024: Less iteration. More discovery. Go within.

4/1/2015

 

One-Month Check-In

It's been one month since our move from Chicago to the far south suburbs, and I am smitten!

There are a lot of changes... like the soundscape, for instance. There are so many different bird-songs here. My urban ears were accustomed to picking up, maybe, ONE... and ::poof!:: it'd be quickly gone... but here there are bird CHOIRS! I recorded a sample, and am dropping it in the podcast outro. Listen out for the pretty chimes.

There's a big tree in our front yard that's home to a woodpecker -- nature's percussionist. He's replacing the guys outside my bedroom window in the city who played upside down buckets for donations. Every day. Many hours a day. So I am ready for Woody Woodpecker :-)

My sense of distance + space is changing. It feels like, "Wooooowww, there's finally room to expand..." And I don't mean expand trinkets + junk. I mean expand visions + missions. Those persistent ideas I've been carrying around -- all crinkled up in a tiny pocket, waiting for enough minutes + enough money to unfold them... decipher, practice + share them. It's not that the minutes or the money came... I just decided to stop waiting! Some people move to the 'burbs to make babies + raise a family. I moved to make art + raise consciousness.

IBI Available 4/20

I'm intending to have "It's Beautiful Inside: An Introvert's Right to BE" available April 20th! While writing it, I've used the following question as my guide:

"What's the truest thing I can say?"

I kept that question at the front of everything I wrote, and ended up having the most liberating experience of my life. You can expect a very surprising + transformational essay, coming 4/20.

Lavish Listening! I love it! What a lovely, poetic, empathic way to describe the fundamental but often overlooked aspect of connecting with others.

Care couture --> sort of like restorative concierge service for the inner terrain.

Very nice!

An Existential Journal
How Are You? An Existential Journal

The question "How are you?" is profound.

But it has been watered down to a synonym for "Hello." Forced or fake responses of obligated okayness are expected.

The question prompts an answer that begins with "I AM ________." Many times each day, you are invited to speak the most powerful statement that can be spoken of yourself.

For a change, take your time and tell your truth.
