I use Flow Game often. With groups. And with individuals. With / for myself. I like the thoughtful prompt, randomized by the roll of a die, in service to an important question.
Today, this one, from the North deck of cards. I have it up on my wall with a few post-it notes nearby.
An African proverb says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others.” How do you balance this?
One, this is a proverb that I learned first from Meg in our early Berkana days. It’s been a guiding principle and reminder that I use often with groups today.
Intuitions for me from this card? Three:
- be in contact with colleagues and friends, particularly about the dreams we are wishing to bring alive
- celebrate the base and baseline of connection that already exists among us; it is foundation for all of the next steps
- live and flow a “sourced” life — this one is at the core for me, be that going fast or going far, I do my best when I feel I’m listening to and responding to intuitions of flow.
You? Wanna play?
