To be someone, as an artist, means: to be able to speak to one’s self. … For everything that is unique to an individual, if it does not wish to remain silent, needs its proper language … To say the same with the same words does not constitute progress.*
Rainer Maria Rilke
Sometimes the words others use just
aren’t the right ones for us –
Example:
My work includes elements of
coaching and mentoring, but
I am not a coach and
I am not a mentor;
I needed to find the word
dreamwhisperer to open a door into
the work I love.
I share these things because
I suspect it will be the same for you:
Play with your words,
Find your language.
Note forward:
I am not a spiritual director,
Though I recognise there are elements of
directing in the work that I do, so
I am finding new words for
a new development:
In Irish it is cogar anam:
Soul whisperer –
More to follow.

Yay, “SoulWhisperer”!
