A few years back a friend remarked to me after a particularly rough day “I feel human today.” I laughed and amusedly asked “Don’t you normally feel human?” She replied “No, usually I feel like a dragon!” I remember at the time feeling a bit confused and wondering what I normally feel like, what I would like to feel like and what it might be like if I felt different.

I work a lot with people who have reached significant turning points in their lives. Some are at the point of making changes in their career to lead a more sustainable life, others have reached critical tolerance for old patterns and ways of living they no longer wish to engage, and others still have simply decided they need new goals, projects and perspectives. The common theme I’ve notice lately with both those I work with as well as others is seeing life as a tapestry.

Though intended as humorous and non-sensical entertainment, he posits a not-so-insignificant idea to consider - is it possible to know both the question and the answer at the same time?

The other day I wrote myself a love note. I was feeling a little down and I needed a pick-me-up. It was simple really, and it only took me about 10 minutes. I hardly thought about it either before or after I wrote it.

At first I just thought they were yelling at each other like they do so often. Then they got louder and then it started to sound like something was about to get dangerous. Growing increasingly annoyed and then concerned I finally looked out the window to see what my next-door neighbors were doing.

In our society the default answer to nearly every question is “Yes.” Advertising is all geared towards getting us to say “Yes - I need that.” We phrase our inquiries looking for yes: “Would you like more coffee?” “Would you be interested in joining me for dinner?” “Would you help me move next week?” Continue Reading »
