Going for a walk

11/10/2015

​I’m a fan of a well thought-out rational process. Show me a step-by-step way to do something, and I’m a happy guy. I’m also an intuitive, so I’ll do a gut-check before moving ahead on a decision. It’s got to feel right.
​Recently I’ve walked the path between rational thought and intuitive mystery on several fronts. As I walk, I gaze from side to side, and then go around a rational block or divert into a mysterious maze. Rather than compare the two perspectives, I let one inform the other.
 
In rational thought, we invoke process and reason to ferret out an answer: the right choice, the right path, the right solution. We determine the rationale, carefully evaluate options, assess the risks, and commit to moving forward. It simply makes sense.
 
In mystery, we live into the situation, allowing answers to spring forth. We agree to be with one another – listening and supporting, but not fixing – until the way forward presents itself. It simply takes time.
 
Together, they form a paradoxical dialogue between thinking and feeling.
 
Forgiveness, in the form of acceptance and empathy, creates a space that welcomes both the rational and the mystery. It empowers us to hold that space, allowing the dialogue to unfold.
 
Forgiveness also frees us from the stress of certainty and opens us to the astonishment of clarity.
