Territories of yearning

If you’re serious about changing yourself and your life, you must change your environment.*
Ben Hardy

Yearning comes with the territory of living.**
Jean Houston

We look for the ideal environments,
Often unaware that we carry the possibilities of new territories
within us;
We may have to change an environ as a final option, but,
Before we jump,
We may want to play with our talents
and energies and values a little more,
And see what happens –
Yes, where we are has limitations, but
limitation is the beginning of innovation:
waiting for the world to get things
just right
is exhausting and frustrating,
while taking responsibility for what we might be able to

contribute or lead
can be energising and fun
