How do we realize our Highest Future Potential? Perhaps it starts with a pause, an opening and a relaxing into ourselves with curiosity. Can we be still enough to let the light shine through the cracks and illuminate the very best of us. As individuals first, then collectively. Let’s stay connected and hold each other with compassion so we may do the holding of others. Much Metta! ~kirk

"The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention.... A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words."  -Rachel Naomi Remen

When you listen generously to people, they can hear truth in themselves, often for the first time. And in the silence of listening, you can know yourself in everyone. Eventually, you may be able to hear, in everyone and beyond everyone, the unseen singing softly to itself and to you.”
Rachel Naomi Remen, MD

How should we see people?

See me with love, a gaze so tender, In your eyes, warmth and understanding render.

How should we hear people?

Hear me with a heart, attuned to my song, In the melody of empathy, we both belong.

How should we mobilize people?

Walk with my feelings, step by step, Through the valleys of joy, the mountains of depth.

How should we train people?

Fly with my thoughts, like a bird in the sky, Unbounded by limits, together we'll fly.

No more questions Please.....

Hand in hand, let's venture, you and I, Through the vast landscapes where dreams touch the sky. In the symphony of connection, we're a shining star, See me with love, and we'll go far. See me with love, and we'll go far.

The phrase "we're not in social services, we're in creation" has really stuck with me these last few weeks. This poster in my office is a reminder of that--we can flex our creativity and dream up better worlds for ourselves and those that come after us.

I've been off and on adding to this doodle as we've been meeting together and today I added in some of the words and phrases that arose in our conversations that I was visualizing. I let it serve as the backdrop for my "sculpture" today.

The rope was all tied in knots, the Pen, captured in the knots. The door handle was locked. The old chunk of wood was worn and gnarly.

# data[].attributes.body
The chunk of worn wood, when cut, turned out to be a beautiful cedar inside. The knots were untied and the Pen set free. The door had a Key to open it. The old bell was ringing like Freedom.

I wonder how this Studio might assist all of us to “turn the beam of inquiry inward?”

How might the Studio assist us all to think about meaningful differences we can make, whatever our roles and authority? What good moves are available to us in whatever our situations may be?

This doodle art collage was co-created by me and my sister showing that a family is an intricate,deep and complex entity with a range of emotions and connections. Its true strength lies in the profound and hidden bonds.These range of emotions are vast, varied and sometimes vulnerable much like the changing moods and currents of an ocean. The word"visible" was intentionally hidden by a fish which is trying too hard to put up a brave front. We tried to show the creatures in the ocean(as members in a family) experiencing crests and troughs of life. Every little thing in the art signifies an aspect of life, physical, mental, spiritual and emotional like the family bus, music from the radio, churning wheel, broken and joyful hearts, leaves of different colors etc.We are all a family when we listen, understand, love and care for each other.

When we talked about 'neighborhoods' it was less about a physical location or more about the people, places and activities in it.

Group 7's Shift

At the close of last week, someone said

"It starts with the opening of a door..."

and I ran with that.

When all the doors
and all the windows
and all the gateways
are all finally opened
and every barrier has finally been torn down
all the universe will be opened as well.

In what ways can we uphold the practices of inclusivity and empowerment, nurturing the potential in each individual, while also shaping a new generation of change-makers amidst systems that, knowingly or unknowingly, sustain the marginalization of certain groups?

What are the prices paid by:
The excluded?
The excluders?
~ Chris Liuzzo

Seems to me that inclusion is about participating in give & take.
