Always in process

why I write

It was almost a year ago that I started to share IN DEEP SHIFT.

Time has been mushy and non linear for me lately, so I don’t know if it feels like a long time or yesterday. But I thank the emily from a year ago for starting to write here, probably before I felt ready.

Writing alchemizes the ideas / images / emotions bubbling up inside my body brain. It’s like releasing the steam from the pressure cooker of this super powered human brain. Brain energy - it’s gotta go somewhere!! Otherwise it’s blocked energy. It’ll eat me alive, brain will run in circles and fizzle, jealousy/self judgement/hatred boil and storm around.

I write as meditation, as a tool to witness and discover myself. I write because it is fun, words and ideas can be like space clay, making new worlds, making myself laugh and reflect and cry. I write to nurture ideas, to have an opinion, to change my mind. I write to shift consciousness, to talk to myself and feel less alone.

» » » Sharing it here IN DEEP SHIFT takes it beyond my personal self sphere, and tosses it out into collective waters. It’s an act of validating my life experience and unlearning separateness. It’s a practice of being » in process « out in the wild world.

Thank you, thank you for jumping into DEEP SHIFT with me.

It’s Friday, and I feel another experiment bubbling up. Making space for incomplete/in process sharing to take place here.

Sprinkled in between long form writing, I’ll share something that may or may not include:

• a little contemplative snack for the casual inner monk

• a dance or a doodle

• holy and/or irreverent parables

• creative sustenance for the hungry inner artist

• burning existential questions

A little something to round out the work week, spark us into weekend, or punctuate space time in another way altogether.

be well, take care.
