I turned this on while I tidied something in my house but when I heard the poem I had to stop & sit down. I know this road too & I know the point at which you can just about step out & watch it rather than feel it. It happened late for me & my kids think I’ve gone mad (I’m smiling as I type that). But it is such a thing to watch the petals unfurl on a rose or smell the bluebells on a warm day. Thanks for the moment of stillness in my day.
I just listened to this week’s Frankly. Feels like a very similar arc to what I’ve written about (not accusing, just appreciating that this is the arc of realization > appreciation of impermanence and uncertainty > awakening > cultivating wisdom and belonging that we all need to go through as a species). You should join us in our community of people doing this at The Wellbeing Project. We call it “Ecological Belonging”. You already know some of the people in the community. We’re collectively planting these seeds around the world. It’s beautiful. Www.ecological-belonging.org
