Time is where eternity unfolds. The contemplative has always recognised the morning as the time to welcome the new day with a sense of creative expectation and openhandedness.*
John O’Donohue
[I]t is essential to put yourself in the unconditional service of the future possibility that is wanting to emerge. Viewed from this angle, presencing is about dialogue with the future possibility that wants to emerge.**
Otto Scharmer
At around 6.45am each morning,
I begin gathering thoughts and ideas from
many people and places,
Sifting and mixing the past, the present and
the future, cooking up
an anticipation and expectation of
what might be possible,
Something I can bring to another as a gift today.
When you dance on the edge of infinity,
there’s always enough …
because you aren’t taking opportunity
from anyone else, you’re creating it.^
