The Direction of Intention

Join me in inspiring truly powerful people. Each day I will add a new thought, story or idea to support your quest and mine.

I have the sense that happiness and wholeness are trying really hard to catch me. All I need do is stop for a moment, open my arms, and receive them.

In the midst of my running, Catherine reminds me to be still. She reminds me to stop and open my arms. She reminds me to know what I already know.

I know to be still and yet I find myself running and running. What is this gap between what I know and what I practice? What is my story of needing to run?

Story functions as a kind of structure. It is the medium through which we construct our version of reality. My story structure necessitates running. I cycle around and around and around this story of running saying to myself, “Be still.”

Scott told me of Hawking Radiation. In his description, two molecules are locked in single motion on opposite sides of a black hole. They orbit a black hole and serve to hold each other in place. If one of the molecules breaks, moves out of sync, a delicate balance is broken. One molecule flies off into space, untethered. The other is sucked into the black hole and with that motion, the hole collapses. All evidence, all history, all story of the hole is gone as if it never existed. A new story is possible.

One molecule moves out of sync and the story structure collapses. What two molecules hold my story in place? What molecule do I need to jigger out of sync? What history do I need to collapse to be still, as I know, and receive happiness and wholeness?
