I want to be go go go and I want to take it slow. I want to make new friends and I want to reconnect with old ones. I want to take on the world and I want to be humbled by it. I want to be in having mode and I want to be in being mode.
I am a swirl of wants right now and I want to leave this swirl but I also want to swirl with it. I feel like that rabbit-duck illusion, flittering through different wants, and when I am in the in-between I want nothing at all. A coherency of wants is beautiful but I also want to see beauty in incoherency as well.
When the liminal becomes your home, you feel you no longer have a home, and a new way of relating with reality is being called forth. I do not know what this is and I do not want to know what this is. I do know that I want to continue to drink this espresso, listen to music that is trying to break my heart, and continue to swirl.
There is so much I want to do. There is so much I can do. I sense it is best to stay with these entangled wants without trying to unentangle them. I am trusting something will emerge, and if nothing emerges that is what is meant to emerge.
I am going to stay with the discomfort of the unresolved, then I am going to listen to what whispers to me when I get out of my own way.
