Thoughts for January: The Call of Winter

"Your snowstorm called you to your work, and its turning brought
you to the ones you helped. The storm was an embodiment of the moment of the great call home. Wake up from your sleep; help each other lighten the load of your things, and come. It is time to go home."
    - Kairos in The Caravan of Remembering, ch. 11, p. 227
Creating Your Action Vocabulary

When you are clear about your why, what and who (the purpose of Caravan), the next level is what I call Life Mission II, which is, now how do I do that.

The piece about that is to uplevel your action vocabulary so that you are skillful in taking action, skillfully stepping into the manifestation of it. What I have found is that most people have two or three favourite strategies for action, which they use for everything they are trying to manifest. And if you are not skillful in your action, these strategies may not work for what you are needing now.

What if you had 200 to 300 strategies for action, and what if you had an extensive vocabulary for them. Linguists would say if you don’t have a word for something, it doesn’t live for you. So what you have is a living action vocabulary, a living manifestation vocabulary. Now that you are clear about your why, what and who, you are also clear about your way of doing that. The world we live in now may ask you to have an extensive action vocabulary and extensive menu of strategies and actions.

Images & Reflections of Life Mission
‌
From the artist:

I read the excerpt below from Caravan before starting the drawing. 

" Life mission actually takes care of us. When you give your intention, attention, and life force to something long enough, it comes alive ." Chapter 3
 
My creative process is intuitive. I trust my hand and where it is going to lead me. I turned the drawing upside down; it looked like a face. 

When I see the drawing, I realize that I am in the process where things are still mysterious; my eyes are closed; I can't see where I am going but I feel I am guided. When the vision is unclear and it is hard to take action, the only way is to surrender to the "unknown." That is exactly what I do in my creative process; it is interesting to notice how the creative process is a reflection of my path.
