shifting the point

17Apr11

The Current: Mosaic project, EuroClub (ie Creativity Club) – we got first place in our city!, Dorm Remodeling, MASCOT Camp, Young Kid camp, Daily Cultivation of Self Project (ie reading a book about creativity). I’ve hit my limits of what I know – meaning I’m incredibly challenged and living into a world where I really don’t know how or what, but learning to do that anyway, and now it’s time to research and learn and walk the path of possibility without needing a light anymore.

Fragments in thinking: Growing up and changing thought of action into real action – stepping out of ennui into the possible jumper – spinning a New Reality. Playing, shaping and reshaping what is by sliding out of homesickness, and hitting the ball into the park of present action living – being reminded about putting perspective into ways of being and laughing indelibly – taking care of a growing to-do list. Learning to make concise, realistic goals and calmly live into big ideas without getting overwhelmed.

Getting Present Again: Recently, I’ve been reminded that what being here is all about is people and community, of working and building together. I’ve also been reminded that I like to make everything much more challenging than life really is and what is more interesting is being present – taking care of what needs to happen as it needs to happen.

Sometimes, though, it’s just easy to get caught up in missing family and friends in America. Sometimes, also, it’s just easy to get caught up in being here. Is there a balance between the present, the imminent future and cultivating a way of the distant possibilities?

(Today begins the week that starts on one brother’s birthday and ends on the other brother’s birthday….If I were in Texas, it’d be swimming, beaches and barbeques, but also family which is more important)
