You step into the portal to discover what you didn’t know you were looking for.*
Austin Kleon
Nothing changes until someone cares enough to build an alternative.**
Seth Godin
A portal isn’t only a door,
It’s an opening into a previously unimagined or
unvisited world:
Austin Kleon is describing the place of writing
in just such a way, something Henri Nouwen further emphasises
when he writes:
Writing is a process in which we discover
what lives in us.
The writing itself reveals to us
what is alive in us.
The deepest satisfaction of writing is
precisely that it opens new spaces within us
of which we were not aware before
we started to write.
To write is to embark on a journey of which
we do not know the final destination.^
A conversation is another kind of portal,
And dreamwhispering is a conversation that is
an alternative to coaching and mentoring –
Not better, just
different, and I created it
for you.

Thank you for doing this just for me! I look forward to future conversations with you!
Thanks, Nic. I can’t believe you posted this so long ago. Time is certainly rushing by in our new situation. Yes, we need to connect. Write on!
