Often, without knowing it, we are waiting for a new idea to come along and cut us free from our entanglement.*
John O’Donohue

Prime is the time we establish ourselves in the world on individual, equal terms. Once we have contact again with an essence and a sense of accomplishment, then we can offer ourselves to others for conversation in a new way.**
David Whyte

We are not plants or some
higher form of animal intelligence,
Blame consciousness but life is more
complex for us;
We have to find different ways of dealing with
reality, and have often found this in
ideas and imagination, so,
When we feel
trapped
dead-ended
pointless
hopeless
restricted
dark-minded
repressed
oppressed
clueless
directionless,
Here are five of the best areas for exploration – these from medieval times:
Being as the deepest reality of all things,
The Oneness of all things in unity despite all difference,
The True found in reality and experience,
The Good as the soul of the world, and the
Beautiful as human inspiration and passion.*

In the morning, in my prime time, the things
I’m reading often offer up many of these in thoughts and
experiences and possibilities,
Disentangling me from most things that
hold me fast.
