Face In The Water
|
|
Above the water, I see only open ocean and a few islands. But with
my face in the water, I see the richness of marine life. I see
coral. I see kelp beds. I see fish, sting rays, turtles etc. What's
below the water is always there, was always there. I
didn't put it there. I didn't fix it there. I didn't make it right
there. I didn't solve it there. It was already there. What
made it available was putting my face in the water. What made it
available was simply shifting my
perspective.
You can't bring forth
transformation
by fixing, by making right, or by solving because
transformation
is always there, was always there like a
possibility. If anything brings forth
transformation,
it's a shift in
perspective.
It's another way of looking at the same material. It's the
difference between looking at the open ocean from above the
water, and looking with your face in the water.
What's there was always there in spite of any efforts
to put it there by fixing, by making right, by solving. So the way
I bring forth
transformation
in these
Conversations For
Transformation
is by generating new conversations about
the same old same
old,
about what's already there, about what's always there, but
with my face in the water - so to speak.
It changes nothing. Yet everything shifts. Everything.
