I am practising this business of letting be these days. I can
deconstruct my own actions, feelings, reactions, and what have you till the
cows come home (or not). It energizes me. Never exhausts me. It is a process of
growth really, to know myself better and better. Growth as in not change,
because not everything is about change or needs to change or can be changed. I
would call it self-awareness rather. In a way, I am always in the thick of this
process no matter what I am doing. But I have been wondering if sometimes it is
good to let things just flow so to speak, not to question, comment,
deconstruct, call attention to. To let things sort of slide, to let them take
oneself over, apart,...? To talk about it sometimes might be to disenchant what
is really magical in it. To name a thing might be to put it into a box and then
one has to find a label... and labels again take away the magic? You understand
this is not my normal mode? I am trying out something that does not come
naturally to me... seeing how it feels like instead of controlling,
deconstructing, making sense? How about not trying to make sense for a change?
Just absorbing it? Letting it be? What's that like?
