5 Perceptual Skills

7/21/2020

Notes from an art class last year, that taught me to see:

1. Perception of EDGES (borders/boundaries)

2. Perception of SPACES (between/within)

3.  Perception of RELATIONSHIPS (among)

4.  Perception of LIGHT (casting of shadow)

5.  Perception of THE WHOLE (pulling it all together)

The question "How are you?" is PROFOUND.

But it has been watered-down to a synonym for "Hello."

Forced or fake auto-responses of obligated okay-ness are expected.

(And if you are going through something tragic, it really doesn't matter! Every social encounter OPENS with this well-established Ritual of Insincerity.)

The question "How are you?" prompts an answer that begins with "I AM _____________."

This means many times each day, you are invited to SPEAK THE MOST POWERFUL STATEMENT that can be spoken of yourself.

And the socially-expected thing to do, is be QUICK + SLICK with your answer.

For a change... TAKE YOUR TIME, and tell your truth. ✍🏾
