Movements are about movement.

Inner movement (our thinking, values, and motivations) being joined up to outer movements (the contribution of our “art”).

Aliveness is perceived most clearly in movement.  When we see something not moving we wonder whether it’s alive or not.  Movement people look different to non-movement people, and the world is asking that we be willing to bring our greatest aliveness to each day.

To be, Erich Fromm would say, is to be active rather than possessive.  This same thought is contained in Otto Scharmer’s Theory U: we are most present (alive) when we are producing (with others).

We do not choose to live – someone else made that decision for us.  We do quite like it, though, once we’ve tasted it.  The question is, how far will we take it?

If you are bringing your greatest aliveness to the party, you are part of a movement of people who are exploring what life can be, not for one’s self but for one another – which seems to be the thing that does it for us.

Keep moving.
