I'm walking in new shoes since the earthquake... the old comfortable ones no longer fit, tempting though it may be to put them on...and sink into familiarity with this awesome life.
nothing remains the same ... we just think it does...
on the morning of the 4.35am BIG wake up, the sun rose over the still and sparkling waters of the bay as if nothing had happened..... weird, very weird... to be at the centre of earthquake zone and receive news via friends in Tauranga and California of what was apparently happening in my life.... surreal...
did anything actually happen?
I know it did... for the old shoes no longer fit and now I find myself in unfamiliar territory...
what is the shape of this new space? can I even dare to go there... to make a concept of this moment and who I think this woman is?
action is happening now... as the purely being space opens into something new... it looks the same... but it's not
the old shoes are outworn... 'getting back to normal' as so many are saying, does not work, for 'normal' has been shaken loose.... we're on the edge.. the edge of the new.... we're always on the edge of the new.... unless we're wearing old shoes
the potential now is new shoes...walking the talk.. connected to each other... offering a hand...loving ... inspired... on the edge... ALIVE!
throw out the old shoes... dance in the new ones....
go on.... I dare you!
