I so loved Nowing yesterday. Yes, that language is a bit unique. But it fits. As I shared in yesterday’s Becoming & Belonging Session, many of us seek to evolve our relationship with now.
That is, to become more present.
That is, to feel life flowing.
That is, to give up on a few fears.
Yesterday, there were six of us. I said a few words about “nowing” and thanked people for coming. And then, in the spirit of check-in, I invited each to speak to what it is about now that nudges them. Really delicious to hear others clarify what compels.
And then I had people draw. Rough copies. Not a contest nor critique of art. Rather, an invitation to another medium for expression. And then we followed the impressions. No need to tuck it in to a literal meaning. Just to notice what some nowing has to do with the bigger picture. It wasn’t that hard to find.
I loved people’s willingness to go along, which is to say, to remember something through a gently held process of Circle. I love crafting these spaces. Being moved by them. Being moved by the people in them. Being moved by an attentiveness to the vessels that we humans are in the medium of now.
Now is a verb.
