When we make what is good, a handful of us may be inclined to letting a bigger crowd rent this goodness, be a participant in the portion that is the whole. Sharing is what magnifies the name of what we’re looking to bridge the surface with. When this is done by having arranged what benefits as many people as possible, deals become more complete. When things are done from one end alone, this exemplifies the individual who is not yet ready to bring what they think is good to life. If intended for you without another or two, claiming collectivity is a boastful long shot. Attempting unison comes from offering ourselves to our audiences, inviting our minds to their requests. We think of want, but they distinguish need.

Now, news on its own can insinuate movement, knocking at what we know as essential/rudimentary. When this information is communicated to us, when it comes into our possession, we position in our heads to what can finally be altered after all that time spent waiting and wishing. When we wonder what good news can do for us without having already reserved what we’d do with it, it’s hard to say when it will arrive, if ever. When we yearn, we produce dreams that can only be partially felt; for where there are no instructions, destiny flees.

In today’s up-and-down world, our sense of direction has been swayed and forgotten. It’s gotten easy for some to lean on, “I’m just not sure anymore.”  Without being able to plant and attend ourselves to somewhere, we lose what we could recognize as left, …south, right, east,…

After sitting with the conversations I had with some of you last week, I realized how often we try to outlive and weigh presence’s need. Rooting ourselves in accepting what is/has been doesn’t come from isolating ourselves and avoiding the issue at hand. Because of that simple fact, we are officially opening up our book club. We’re starting with The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. If you want to see how we roll, join us for our first session.

But first,* to make the best of your experience, use this form to let me know what you’re looking to get out of something like this, when you’d want to start (this week or next) + what you think we should name the book club: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=DQSIkWdsW0yxEjajBLZtrQAAAAAAAAAAAAMAAYjD3AZURUxSNDhTSUhTUEdLOU00Q1E3RFNSM0cySy4u 

^ This form is anonymous, so if you want to be added 📖 for real, send me an email back!

Thank you as always && see you soon
