so.....more than a year ago - much more, "our quantum year" is a title we used for a record we wanted to keep recording life changes. With the word “quantum” were we imagining moving from space D way ahead to space Y within a space of 12 months? did we expect a miraculous shift of location , activity and intent?
What I am seeing now is what we set in place with our title was an arrow. A direction. so each week we meet to share and what is evident as a constant is that the flow of life events spreads way outside the lines of anything we might write in a notebook. Not always so dramatic, real events. Or, in some cases, much more dramatic, but not in a way I would choose. Messier. but always different that a plan i write, or a hope i voice. often I’m following a roadmap while having a tantrum. or daydreaming while sweeping floors.
What is illuminating is the view backward - gazing over the days that have passed over a year and more. now there is the landscape that tells the tale. Changes have occurred. The garden is growing and giving clues to the new directions that are invisibly unfolding. “behind” and “ahead”. “then” and “now.” The meanings of those words are not so important anymore.
