From Lateral Action
Mark McGuinness is a poet, creative coach and co-founder of Lateral Action.
You can look at the difficulties you face and see them as a challenge - right now.
You can look around you and reach out to support and encourage your friends - right now.
You can confront your enemy - whether in the external forces ranked against you, or inside you, in the voice of your inner saboteur counselling a timid retreat - right now.
You can be a hero, working to fix things and build them up again - right now.
You can pick up the gauntlet - right now.
The message of this article echoes that of Andrew Cohen and Ken Wilber in a previous post (Freedom in the Face of Fear, June 3/09): when confronted by change and uncertainty from all directions, let your mind expand to connect with the creative potential in each situation rather than closing down into a contracted, survivalist mentality.
keep it open, keep it open
and help me keep mine open too
