Close up and ordinary

If we are looking for the mystical, we need go no further than the Victory, no further than the most ordinary of our ordinary experiences.*
James Carse

It is essential to put yourself in the unconditional service of the future possibility that is wanting to emerge. Viewed from this angle, presenting is about a dialogue with the future possibility that wants to emerge.**
Otto Scharmer

We underestimate what is under
our noses and overvalue what lures us
from a distance, but the future we want to
become the present is likely to be found in
the ordinary immediately around us –
This is where I work: in what is
already there but unnoticed.^
