For the time being  🤔

My mind gets pulled between the unresolved chaos of the past and the looming uncertainty of the future. Sometimes, my thoughts fixate on mistakes I’ve made, and contemplate possible catastrophes to come. My mind takes me far away, and I’m absent from the present.

I’ve realised I need to focus more on what I’m doing at the moment. Not just ‘right now’ - I don’t want to obsessively live in every moment - but in this phase of my life, while things are the way they are now. 

So I’m consciously trying to enjoy my life for the time being.

Hope is a disposition of the soul to convince itself that what it desires will come to pass, which is caused by a particular mingling of the spirits, namely, by that of mingled joy and desire.

I don't go by the rule book. I lead from the heart, not the head

Does what goes on on the inside show on the outside? Someone has a great fire in their soul and no one ever comes to warm themselves at it, and passers by see nothing but a little smoke at the top of a chimney.

💃🏾 Notting Hill Carnival 🔆

The noise booms, thumps and clashes in the streets. The dancers absorb the shockwaves, rolling their shoulders and shaking their jelly in the parade of garish feathers and glitzy jewels: birds of paradise that freshened up at the beauty parlour. Gnawed corn cobs, chewed chicken bones and empty cans of fizzy booze all pile up on the ground.

In the wake of Grenfell fire, the Carnival commemorates the lives that were lost and celebrates the lives that are left. You can feel the ecstatic release of a community for the weekend. A dizzy mix of sensations; a cacophony of colours.

Everything can change, but not the language that we carry inside us, like a world more exclusive and final than one’s mother’s womb.

Do not worry if you have built your castles in the air. They are where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

A truly wonderful thing happens when you get clear. 

Gone is the need to be right, to be the best, to move fast, and to outdo others. 

Clarity gives you the ability to do what you are doing, to the best of your ability, without being afraid that you are doing the wrong thing.

Elegance is elimination.

[movemequotes]

Build pockets of stillness into your life. Meditate. Go for walks. Ride your bike going nowhere in particular. There is a creative purpose to daydreaming, even to boredom. The best ideas come to us when we stop actively trying to coax the muse into manifesting and let the fragments of experience float around our unconscious mind in order to click into new combinations. Without this essential stage of unconscious processing, the entire flow of the creative process is broken.

We are the cosmos made conscious and life is the means by which the universe understands itself.
