I have trained my own reality to be very fluid, moving back and forth between ordinary and extraordinary realities, local and archetypal worlds, implicate and explicate worlds.*
Jean Houston
The challenge is to keep doing something different, something harder and scarier in every way than the thing you did before … to do something more difficult each time.**
Francine Prose
And before we know it,
We’ve stopped,
Stopped moving, and,
Being fixed, life
closes in around us when it ought to to be
opening up and astounding us.
I need only 4%
different, difficult, risky, scarier to avoid
a world becoming too familiar and reducing,
Or to unbelievable and large for me to contemplate –
Only 4% to be fluid and
Lost in wonder.
Your life is quantum,
You live here ordinarily and also
somewhere else, imaginally,
Your life in myth stretching,
Opening and unfurling this
local world.
