“The unexamined Life is one not worth living”- Socrates
We are all traveling and traversing the ever shifting moments of this experience we refer to as Life. For so many of us our experience is that we are alone – alone on this ride and alone with our inner thoughts, which can include both joy and deep pain as well as the experience of imbalance.
The landscapes of interpersonal relationships are up and down, rarely peaceful and fluid, yet so desired to be as such.
Often we look to the outside and point to “that, them, he or she” as the culprit of our inner discontent and suffering. “If only” and “why” become familiar beginnings to our sentences. We may resonate with the image that our lives are likened to a bucket of water patched together with duct tape and the glue isn’t holding up as we desired. The bucket is about to burst or leaks so we add more patches.
Directing the inquiry back to ourselves we may find it’s not the outside that does not show up for us but it is we, our very interior self, that does not show up for us; simply because we have dismissed it’s presence for so long.
As John Tarrant so eloquently expresses: "The unseen life is beneath or inside the life we lead every day. This unseen life is like a river flowing beneath the city (beneath work, family & ambition). If we respect the inner life we find that it is also possible to reverse the whole relationship between inner and outer the above and beneath. Like a garden to be cultivated for the garden’s own sake.
Here you will find an invitation to take the backwards step, journeying deeply into yourself -with a sense of curiosity, courage and willingness to investigate what lies beneath all of the stories and thoughts we believe ourself and others to be. With the intention to clarify and strengthen the relationship to your inner life -your truest Self with a capital S. Opening a road where the fog lifts, the vista is expansive, allowing the possibility for human potential to thrive.
I invite you to reach out and embark on voyage of discovery of this vast inner- scape.
