Part of the fun (or insert appropriate adjective here) of the journey of life are the unexpected turns it can take.

I heard this quote from Graham Nash today that struck me:
.
"Life is not perfect, and it never will be. You just have to make the very best of it.
And you have to open your heart to what the world can show you.
And sometimes it's terrifying and sometimes it's incredibly beautiful.
And I'll take both.
Thanks."
.
Staying engaged in the process even when the territory seems unknown. That's pretty much every lesson I've ever taught...lol.
.
It's interesting to be in that space of not knowing for sure what my next move is for certain, giving myself time to find some clarity and insight into what patterns are presenting themselves.
.
I remember in some of the old Moshe video tapes, where he'd be giving a one-on-one lesson with a client. Sometimes during the lesson he'd go over and sit down and have a smoke.
He was thinking.
Not sure he's seeing what he thinks he's seeing.
I've found myself taking rests during lessons, so I can take another look, and maybe go in a different direction to effect the same idea.
.
After receiving a lesson sometimes we have to deal with unknowns.
We may move with more freedom than we're used to.
This presents more opportunities, and more unknowns.
By playing in the world of the unknowns we're asked to move out of the sphere of everything we've tried and develop new strategies to exist.
And new freedoms to enjoy.
