It has been a blissful time with Deborah..
It is week 3 since my last chemo, I feel vigorous and strong and am preparing to go to Johannesburg today for some new work - a little unknown and challenging. I have discovered a new level of inner assurance with regard to my work. The last 3 months have provided me an entry way to a quality of confidence that has little to do with expertise or learning. The best way to describe it is to use the beautiful words of one my participants in a recent programme. When asked what she was assuming that enabled her to do something very challenging and high stakes, she said, after thinking quietly and deeply, "I am enough". That brought tears to my eyes and I have not forgotten it. I think that is the source of this assuranceI feel - a key assumption that provides a sense of ease and freedom. So, although I am full of anticipation about how this new workshop will turn out, my anxiety level is not at all what it used to be. Maybe I have at last accepted that my own centering will always support me in finding creative ways of holding dialogue space in which people can easily connect one with another.
Blessings to each one of you.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful space to be in. Long may it bloom in you. Enjoy JHB. Love
ReplyDeletehi Maryse, I was packed and ready to take wing to SA today when I woke up and had to listen to my body. Inspired by you and your process of listening, i cancelled flight, bit the penalty and am giving preference to healing and rest. Thank you for this mantra - yes indeed, wings or no, I am enough! Thank you for the exquisite way you clothe your thoughts and include me in your journey. My love from rainy London as you embark on the chemo tomorrow.
