Every morning, I get to begin the day with excitement and trepidation.

Here again, is the possibility and responsibility of pursuing and developing my curiosities.  From ideas into happenings.

It is the same for you, though your curiosity is different to mine.

This has been honed in both of us over many years, through taking notice of many things, and homing in on some of these.  For some reason, these have called for your attention over everything else.

So, you move in closer and one thing leads to another.

One person leads to another person.

One experiment to another.

Before you know it, you’re waking with the excitement and fear of what following this trail will mean through another day.

It’s a big, wide, open perspective on life – because you’ve been discovering, there’s no end to your outer and inner worlds:

‘To follow your gift is a calling to a wonderful adventure of discovery.  Some of the deepest longings in you is the voice of your gift..  The gift calls you to embrace it, not to be afraid of it.’*

Peter Senge proffers that love is committing ‘to another’s completion, to another being all that she or he can and wants to be.’**

I need to ask, because of this connecting of lives and curiosities and possibilities, is this what it means to be Human?  An eco-adventure.^

We must trust the longing which calls to us from the deepest part of our being.  Far from being the least trustworthy voice in our lives, it may be the truest – coming from the most developed and connected part of us – where we’ve been connecting to others, our world, and our selves, knowing we have enough to begin.^^

How this is happening in every person is a beautiful thing.
